Honda pricing?? You mean Honda quality. $3000 for a machine that will likely go for the rest of your life with limited maintenance. Sounds like a bargain |

Monkey bike=monkey pricing. (in a year you can buy the Chinese "MORG"for $800.)

Own a Honda car and think Honda products are worth every plum nickel, but the truth is they could still make a profit on this bike and sell it for $500 less. And I would not even think of a Chinese knockoff of this in a few years. The stories of the quality of the Chinese motorcycles has been horrible compared to the much better quality of the scooters and parts availability for the cycles has been pretty nonexistent. Mostly because the scooter sell in big numbers and used ninja 250's and other older motorcycles sell for less than a grand. The chinese cycles just don't sell here so support is nill and you can end up with an $800 lawn ornament fast. |

I was only semi-serious. (just my way of poking fun at the overpricing)
P.S. besides who would want to ride on something that sounds like a toenail condition?

All I know is this thing would probably have me in jail 15 minutes after the point of purchase. Monkey bikes are hooligans through and through!

That thing is totally kick butt. Well worth the money, it looks like Honda designed it with "fun" as the priority!
Change the oil occasionally and give it a valve job every once in a great while, Honda's will keep running forever.

They are using the same engine as the Honda Wave Scooter - so not a huge upgrade. Its air cooled also meaning no liquid cooling. The price is high I would wait a few years after release to get a cheap one not to mention its only 125cc.

A 125 is actually the smallest engine to ride around even on the highways; or with 2 people going 50MPH. 125cc's usually can get great gas mileage!
Almost looks like a mini-ducatti!
