Honda Motorcycles
Honda's first appearance in North America was in Vancouver in 1959, there were six original dealers that took on the new brand hopeful for something different than the norm, Rex and Glenn Turple were one of those original six, and the last standing of them too, making Turple Bros. Ltd. the oldest Honda dealer in North America. 10 years after the first Honda motorcycle came to north america, Honda Canada was formed. Throughout the years we have seen a lot of Honda Motorcycles come through our doors from the iconic CB750 (in our main logo) to the race winning CBR lineup, the new and old Africa Twin, the king of touring bikes, the Goldwing, and so many more. We always look forward to see what Honda Motorcycles brings us next. |
2024 Honda Monkey
Small but mighty
There’s a lot of performance packed into the Monkey’s compact 124 cc four-stroke engine, and because it’s a Honda, you know it’s going to be super reliable.
Small but mightyThere’s a lot of performance packed into the Monkey’s compact 124 cc four-stroke engine, and because it’s a Honda, you know it’s going to be super reliable. |
Modern technologyThe Monkey’s air-cooled engine can trace its roots back a long way, but inside the familiar SOHC design you’ll find fully up-to-date technology. That means you get such features as modern electronics and fuel-injection for efficient, economical performance. |
Five-speed transmissionSure, the Monkey has a style all its own, but its five-speed transmission with manual clutch operates just like that of a conventional full-size motorcycle, with the same benefits of durability, control, and efficiency. |
Light weightWeighing just 104 kg fully fueled, the Monkey boasts a sporty power-to-weight ratio for exciting performance. The light weight also combines with the bike’s compact size to make it easy to manoeuvre, easy to park, easy to store, and easy to load onto the back of an RV or pickup truck. |
Smooth handlingJust like a top-of-the-line sportbike, the Monkey comes equipped with an inverted hydraulic front fork for sure control over all sorts of road conditions. Plus, twin rear shocks combine with fat tires and a well-padded seat to provide excellent ride comfort. |
ABS disc brakesA bike this much fun is going to get ridden a lot, so it has to have a top-shelf braking system. That’s why we equipped the Monkey with standard ABS and hydraulic disc brakes front and back. On wet pavement or other compromised road surfaces, the Monkey helps you ride with confidence. |
Chunky tiresThe Monkey’s high-aspect-ratio tires mounted on 12-inch cast wheels do more than just look cool. They’re super practical too, giving you plenty of grip and absorbing bumps on rough road surfaces. |
Low seat heightWhether you’re flat-footing it into a parking space or just stopped for a long light, the Monkey’s super-low 776 mm (30.6 in) seat height makes it easy to manoeuvre and ride. |
Multi-function instrumentsRetro meets modern in the Monkey’s instrument cluster. The round housing is totally 1960s, while the digital display features a speedometer, odometer, A&B trip meters, fuel gauge, and indicator for low/high beam. It even greets you when you first start the bike! |
LED lightingThe Monkey’s round headlight looks retro, but its performance is totally up to date. Like the taillight, it uses LEDs for superior illumination and visibility. |
Comfortable sizeSure, the Monkey may be small, but we sized it to fit adult riders. Case in point: check out the high-rise handlebar, which allows you to comfortably steer and work the controls without feeling cramped. |
Sips fuelWith a 5.6 litre tank and incredible fuel efficiency, every fill-up will take you farther than you ever thought possible. |
