Honda Monkey 125
La Honda Monkey se originó en 1961 como una divertida bicicleta en miniatura para el parque de atracciones Tama Tech de Honda, y salió a la venta pública en 1964 con el nombre de Z100. Se convirtió en un icono muy querido durante generaciones y, tras un paréntesis, Honda revivió su nombre en 2018 con la moderna Monkey 125, con un motor de 125 cc con inyección de combustible, horquillas tipo USD y ABS, que combinaban un estilo retro con una fiabilidad moderna. Su diseño nostálgico y su rendimiento accesible la han convertido en una motocicleta urbana y novedosa popular en todo el mundo.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Proven Reliable Engine
The Monkey 125 uses Honda's fuel-injected 125cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, known for low maintenance needs and 10,000+ mile service intervals. It shares its platform with the Grom, meaning parts and mechanic familiarity are widely available.
Strong Resale Value
Due to its cult following and limited production numbers, the Monkey 125 retains resale value exceptionally well — often selling used for close to its original MSRP of around $4,000. High demand and a passionate owner community keep prices stable.
Watch for Overheating Mods
Some owners install aftermarket exhausts or air filters that can cause lean fuel conditions and premature engine wear — always check for unauthorized tuning when buying used. Also inspect the rear suspension, as the stock unit is basic and often the first thing owners replace.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The most fun you'll have for under four grand."
$2,800-$4,200 usedThe Monkey 125 is genuinely one of those bikes that makes you grin every single time you swing a leg over it. Honda built this thing properly — fuel injection, proper brakes, USD forks on the later models — it's not a toy, even if it looks like one. Used examples hold value stubbornly, so don't expect bargain basement prices. Check the subframe for cracks if it's been dropped (and they get dropped, because new riders love these), and inspect the exhaust headers for rust since they sit low and collect road grime. On the road it's genuinely fun below 45mph, decent around town, and utterly useless on anything resembling a highway. That's not a criticism, that's just physics. The 125cc single does what it does and nothing more. Fuel economy is sensational and running costs are almost embarrassingly cheap. Parts availability through Honda dealers is solid. Buy a 2019 or newer for the USD forks and ABS option. Avoid anything that's clearly been thrashed by a learner who thought they were Casey Stoner.
