Talking about the Monkey from a racing angle might be missing the point, but a small, light bike like this is, on the ground, surprisingly fun to ride flat out. The sensation of wringing every last bit out of 124cc has a completely different kind of fun from a big-displacement bike. It ought to make the ultimate companion for zipping around the streets of Mexico.

Since it's such a hobbyist-oriented model, it seems like the kind of bike bought by people who value the satisfaction of owning it more than the price.

What's the concept behind the Monkey, anyway?

It originally started out as a small leisure bike for amusement parks, and later became a beloved model once a street-legal version took off.

Honda's leisure bike lineup looks set to build more of a presence in the Mexican market going forward too.

89,990 pesos, wonder how that stacks up against local prices, feels like a bold price for a compact bike.

If ABS and LEDs come standard, there's extra value built in on the equipment side, so it's not really fair to just compare it to a plain moped's price.

124cc with PGM-FI, 2-channel ABS, and full LED lighting, I like that it's packing genuinely modern equipment even as a leisure bike.

The Monkey, born at Tama Tech in 1961, took this long to be officially introduced in Mexico.
