Lat Honda Monkey we saw it in all its forms: from Harley-Davidson kits, to Kawasaki kits and then the inevitable kit who disguises her as Africa Twin. If this kit is new to you it is totally understandable, the bodywork Baja Africa it was distributed by Honda in Japan in limited quantities at the beginning of the nineties, and now these “little Africa Twins” are in great demand on the market.

QThis kit took up the style and graphics of the XRV750 Africa Twin, cutting them down to fit a Honda Monkey. Like the hugely popular kits that transform the Monkey into a Harley, Monkeys with Baja Africa kit are rare on the market, especially in the United States. Some enthusiasts have imported them over the years, but find it difficult to part with them.

However an enthusiast of Fort Myersin Florida, has put up for sale a splendid 1992 Honda Monkey Baja Africa. The conditions, we see from the photos, They are fantastic. Plus matching helmet and lenses!

PFor those who don’t know the kit, it’s just a body shop. Although the tank seems really large, in the end it is just a cover, underneath we find a door for the tank cap. At the rear, the Baja Africa has a small compartment for storing objects on the luggage rack behind the seat.

LThe motorcycle was offered without reserve in Florida. It was imported from Japan to the United States in 2019 by one dealer and is now being sold by another dealer. The auction closed just yesterday on Bring a Trailerthe price? 16,750 US dollarsnot bad for a Monkey.
