Tamiya Honda Monkey 2000 Anniversary

Introducing the iconic Honda Monkey, a legendary mini-motorcycle that has captured the hearts of enthusiasts since its introduction in 1961. Now, you can own a piece of history with the Honda Monkey model kit. Originally seen zipping around Honda's "Tama Tech" amusement park, the Honda Monkey quickly became a favorite among riders of all ages. Its distinct red frame, white gas tank, and tiny 5-inch tires made it stand out from the crowd. The peppy 50cc engine provided a thrilling ride, and its unique appearance earned it the name "Monkey." Honda recognized the Monkey's popularity and transformed it into a road-going model. The CZ100 was introduced in 1963, marking the start of its export journey. In Japan, the improved Z50M Monkey became the first marketed model and gained attention for its folding handlebars and seat, allowing easy storage in a passenger car. In 2000, Honda celebrated the Monkey's rich heritage with the 2000 Anniversary edition. Inspired by the iconic 1971 Z50Z(2) model, this special edition was limited to just 3000 motorcycles. Now, you can recreate this cherished design with the Honda Monkey model kit. This kit is packed with incredible features that capture the essence of the Monkey.

The 49cc SOHC engine is meticulously represented, and various vinyl pipes are provided for added realism. You'll also find two custom option parts, including a muffler, allowing you to personalize your Monkey just the way you like it.
