An important milestone in Monkey Bike development was reached in 1974 with the launch of the Honda Z50J, which featured front and rear suspension like a 'proper' motorcycle while retaining the overhead-camshaft engine and 8" wheels, first seen on the Z50A respectively. In 1978 the Z50J Monkey was heavily revised with a larger fuel tank, front and rear racks, 12-volt CDI ignition, a manual clutch, and a four-speed gearbox, becoming the more aggressive looking 'Gorilla'. Immensely popular as paddock transport the world over, Monkeys are currently much in vogue.
With Honda in Japan ceasing production of the existing Monkey and Gorilla in 2007, pending the arrival of new fuel-injected models for 2008, original examples of these charismatic little machines can only become increasingly collectible. A collector's item, this Z50J Gorilla Limited Edition Spring Collection is one of only 3,500 built in 1999 for the Japanese market only. Described by the vendor as in very good original condition showing some 3771 kilometres from new, the machine comes with Belgian registration documents and is 'on the button', ready to go.
