Custom Bikes Of The Week: 15 March, 2020



A very slick BMW K100 from Lithuania, a funky Honda Monkey from California, and a Harley-Davidson sidecar rig built in Poland?up for sale for a million dollars.

Honda Monkey Z50R Back in 1979, Honda realized people were actually racing their Honda Monkeys. So they released the Z50R?a sportier version of the Z50A with BMX-style bars, a new seat and a different fuel tank. This Z50R’s been hopped up even more, and it sure looks like the most pint-sized fun you could have.
It belongs to California local Andres, who built it with his friend Eric from Row4 Design. They started with a rusted donor that had a hole in the frame, and set out to build the ?meanest little Monkey in California.?

The project started with a teardown and full resto of the frame, and quickly escalated to swapping the 50 cc motor out for a 190 cc Daytona engine. It’s matched up to an Over Racing exhaust, held up by a custom-made bracket. Up front is a set of upside-down forks, and out back you’ll find a longer and wider swing-arm, hooked up to new shocks.

The wheels are two-piece 10? Takegawa items, finished in black chrome. The guys also trimmed the seat and had it recovered, and fitted a slightly bigger tank. The controls are a mix of modded Grom bits, Stage6 controls and a Koso headlight.
It sounds simple, but there were reportedly a multitude of hiccups and workarounds during the project. The end result is worth it though?this is one Monkey we’d love to ride in anger. [M...
