Honda Monkey 110. Yellow version

The Honda Z series or Monkey Bike was a line of minibikes made by Honda which have a model number starting with the letter Z. The bike came to be known as a monkey bike because most people looked large in relation to the very small motorcycle: onlookers described riders as looking like a monkey on the diminutive minibike.

The original model of the Honda Z-series was a prototype called the Honda Z100 and it was originally produced as a children’s ride at a Japanese amusement park called Tama Tech. It was eventually refined and put into mass production, hitting the European market in 1964.
