NEW

Featuring more than 250 archival and new photos, detailed technical data, and first-person stories from passionate Honda mini-motorcycle devotees, this nostalgic and fun compendium presents the complete model history of Honda's legendary little motorbikes and discusses the unique culture surrounding them.

These lightweight mini motorcycles trace their origin back to renowned Japanese engineer Soichiro Honda, who gleaned as much information as possible from European manufacturers before setting out to create something entirely new.
Honda's original model, the C 100 Super Cub, became a global smash hit. Since its release in 1958, more than 100 million Honda Super Cub mini motorcycles have been produced, and it has become the bestselling motorized vehicle in history.
Over the years, the Honda company continued to refine and develop its winning formula, following up with additional models, including the Monkey and the Dax.

Inexpensive, stylish, and highly customizable, these tiny machines muscled their way into the world's consciousness, appealing to a variety of people - young and old, motorcycle enthusiasts and novices alike - who valued them for their sophisticated technology and high-quality construction and welcomed them into their lives for a wide range of purposes: transportation, sport, or just plain fun. So, hop on and enjoy a ride into the world of Honda's iconic mini motorcycles!

Little Honda - Die legendären Kleinmotorräder Super Cub, Dax, Monkey

Small, retro and absolutely cult: Honda's small motorcycles are legendary. Today, the Honda brand is primarily known as a manufacturer of cars and full-size motorcycles. But the best-selling light motorcycle also comes from Japan: the Honda Super Cub. More than 100 million units have been sold worldwide since its launch in 1958.

It was more by chance that Honda invented a second family of small motorcycles. The Honda Monkey was actually intended as an attraction for children in an amusement park, but from 1961 onwards it became a real hit on the market. Even though the rider had to be as agile as a monkey thanks to its tiny dimensions, nothing was cooler to ride in the 1970s than a Monkey or its bigger brother, the Gorilla. In 1969, the Honda Dax joined the line, which scored points with its advanced design and, thanks to its foldable handlebars, was also used as a "range extender" in many mobile homes.

While Far Eastern replicas of these cult bikes have been flooding the market for some time, Honda has remained quiet for a long time. But in 2019, the completely new Monkey is finally coming out and is set to continue what its predecessors started. Until then, all motorcycle fans can go on an exciting journey through time with "Little Honda" with lots of original pictures and interesting background information.

In "Little Honda" Gerfried Vogt-Möbs presents the mini motorcycles that shaped the lifestyle of the seventies:
- complete model history of Honda light motorcycles: from Honda Super Cub to Honda Monkey and Honda Gorilla to Honda Dax
- many historical photos from the archives
- detailed technical data
- with contemporary tests and driving reports - pure motorcycle history!
