Footnotes

With the launch of the CZ100 in 1960, Honda created the class of machine known as 'monkey bikes', so called because of their diminutive stature. No class of motorcycles is more collectible than Japanese mini-bikes, particularly those of Honda's so-called 'Monkey Bike' family. Offered here is an example of the rare and collectible 2017 Honda 50th Anniversary special Monkey Bike, which is presented in effectively 'original and perfect' condition, exactly as it left the factory. This 50th Anniversary example comes with Belgian registration documents (dated 1967). A collectors' item built only for the Japanese market, it features fuel injection instead of the earlier models' carburettor induction and is highly sought after outside its native land. A 'must have' for the serious mini-bike collector, this charming little machine was built in a run of 500 units only making it collectible from day one. When this model was released in Japan, you had to enter a lottery to get the chance to buy one. More than 35,000 Japanese subscribed! This 50th Anniversary Special is also the final edition and the last 49cc Monkey Bike made by Honda after 50 years of Monkey Bike production!

Please note that as this car has less than 6,000 kilometres recorded on the odometer, it is considered to be a New Means of Transport under EU law and will incur a VAT liability if sold to an EU country other than Belgium. The current Belgian VAT rate of 21% will be applied on the invoice total.
