It's really too bad that Honda won't bring the Monkey here to the states in street legal form.

It would sell terrible and the dealers would want no part of ordering them unless they were special order only like the NSF100F.



My guess is less then 100 people would pony up $3500 to purchase one of these new from a dealer. And that would be right around the price point.



Keep in mind the 2004 NSR50R sold terrible, the NSF100F hardly sold, the 2004 Dream 50R sold terrible.



The 1988 ZB50 was a failure and dealers couldn't give them away, as was the 1991-1994 CT70's.



Even in Japan, it's a cult item and the dealers have a very hard time moving them and are kept around for heritage and not sales.

That's why when you go around Honda dealerships through the country bikes such as the hardtail and ct are just on display normally elevated over-head to not take up floor space.
