Honda Monkey (Z100 and early Z50)

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The first model of the Z series was the prototype Z100 of 1961, built as a ride for children at Japan's Tama Tech amusement park, which Honda refined and put into mass production, reaching the European market in 1964. The early Z50 models, such as the Z50A of 1968 and the Z50AK3 of 1972, all had a 4.5 horsepower 49 cc single horizontal cylinder four-stroke engine and a seat height under 22 inches, and the first Monkey bikes did not have any suspension. Wikipedia does not number Monkey generations. Each model year has its own page.
