Hide your bananas – Honda is officially adding the Monkey to America’s 2022 miniMoto category lineup.
What better way to usher in a fresh 2022 than with a 125cc punchy petrol pipe?
The 2022 Honda Monkey will be sliding into US markets with a brand spanking new engine – the same as the Honda Grom.
The trick is that this bike will have a higher 10.0:1 compression ratio, allowing the power to swing through a juicy 9.7 hp and 7.7 pound-feet of torque.
According to a report from MotorcycleCruiser, The engine will also feature a longer stroke and narrower bore – perfect for hooning around in the lower range of the power band.
Oh, and the pert little simian will also have an extra transmission gear; it can now count to five.
Who says monkeys can’t evolve?
Here’s a list of the Specs that we’ve got so far:
Engine: SOHC single-cylinder, air-cooled
Displacement: 125cc
HP: TBD
Torque: TBD
Transmission: 4-speed
Seat Height: 30.6”
Front Suspension: Non-adjustable 32mm inverted fork with 3.9” of travel
