Monkeying around...

On a lark I bought a Honda Monkey. Why? I have no idea. It was one of those spur-of-the-moment purchases and the first time I've bought a motorcycle without a specific purpose for it.

Here's...

Actually at least in the U. S. the K-Pipe does indeed have a clutch--two of them, in fact. The one on the crank allows it to come to a stop without having to find neutral or holding the clutch lever...

I stumbled across a Chinese electric motor with a four speed transmission that will bolt into any Honda 50/70/pushrod 90 or similar clone (or an OHC 90 with the Dr. ATV adapter kit). It appears to...

Not that anyone here would use one but I had a 10t. sprocket on my Honda Reflex trials bike and I think I have a 9t. sprocket in the garage I bought for a trials-ish Honda C-100 build. These are...

Multi-cylinder carb setups are indeed a pain in the caboose. This is yet another reason I abandoned "big bikes" and went with the little bikes I ride today. I can have the carb off, cleaned of...

Ah, but the U. S. doesn't get the Zoomer, or at least the Honda version. All we get is a 49cc replica sold under the Tao-Tao name. (The Philippines do get all kinds of cool step-throughs similar to...

My K-Pipe's $1999 price becomes $260.27...

One word--weight. There's only one 250 available in the U. S. that's even reasonably light (the Yamaha WR-250R at around 300 lbs.) but it's sky-high seat height is simply too much for most of us...

I'd personally like to see Honda bring these in as an alternative to scooters and as an "entry-level" bike. Interestingly enough there are old guys in the U. S. who either physically can't ride or...
