It was in my mx mag. they are releasing a limited number of them.



is this old news?

Old news unless they are going to release them in the USA. They make 3000 of them a year for the Japanese market, but not the USA.



I have the 2003 limited edition I imported in from Japan that emulates the CB750 K0 paint scheme.

it doesn't say. it just says this year (2007) they are releasing a number of them for the 40th anniversary. $2260. Hey what engine is in it? doesn't have stock black cylinder.

That's for the JDM marketplace. That would be big news if they imported and made them street legal in the USA, but it won't happen.

It would be my lucky day if they made a U.S version. But I doubt it. Wait another 10 years for the 50th anniversary if they make one. Or do they do it every 20 years?

I also thought MXA stated they were making some and bringing them into the USA. I guess I should just dig up the MXA before I say anymore and look like a fool

I hope they do bring these in and sell them. However, if Honda made them street legal, there would be lots and lots of changes including 23W turn signals on a 12" stalk, no fold-down handlebars, lights must turn on when parked, etc.



I'd rather see honda import and sell the Ape 100 or the XR100 motard as they would sell better.

here is what it says in MXA. HONDA REINTRODUCES THE Z50 MONKEY BIKE. Honda has launched a limited-edition version of its Monkey bike to celebrate its 40th Anniversary in 2007. The small wheeled bike that has become something of a cult machine first appeared in 1967 as the z50m and has changed little over the past four decades. It will sell $2260.



It does not say anywhere whether or not if it will be avaible in the USA
