Joining the little Grom sport bike for 2019, Honda
is bringing in the Monkey and the Super Cub – two of its hottest-selling model
lines overseas – to America.
The Monkey takes the form of a classic motorbike,
but downsized to tiny dimensions. The Super Cub is more like a Vespa-style
scooter, but with bigger wheels. With over 100 million examples made, it’s the
best-selling motorcycle in the world, and even inspired a Beach Boys song.
Both
pack tiny 125-cc single-cylinder engines and even ABS brakes in thoroughly
old-school, even retro forms that are bound to please beginners and seasoned
riders alike.
The Monkey starts at US$ 3,999 (add a couple hundred extra
for the ABS version), and the Super Cub goes for just US$ 3,599. The former
reaches showrooms in October, with the latter joining in January.
