Riding Honda's smallest rarest motorbike to see Honda's smallest rarest car / Jonny Smith CarPerver

My name is Johnny Smith and I'm going to ride the

smallest

, weirdest motorcycle to see Honda's

smallest

, weirdest car. Thank you very much for watching my first video about a car pervert. The comments were wonderful. I can't believe it today. It is not. Strictly police, is that right? No, he's a motorcycle and car pervert. I wanted to show you this. I have a thing for small folding motorcycles that fit in the trunk of the cars I've owned, most of them have been Hondas, why? I guess because Honda really captured the imagination in the 1960s with what became known as the monkey bike, but it started with something called the Said 100 and then it became the Zed 100, so this is like the godfather of the monkey bike. .

The first video was a Honda and in my second video it's a Honda, don't worry. Honda doesn't pay me. I just thought it would be a continuation of what I showed you, the Honda II and it's incredibly small just to give you an idea. scale, there's the wheel, there's my foot, it's fine and it's a road-legal motorcycle. This bike has always been the holy grail of monkey bikes for me. I've had bikes from the '50s and '70s, which are a much more manageable adult monkey bike, so yeah. I guess my journey with Honda started a long time ago, back in the 80s when I was a kid

riding

what would have been the Zed 50 R, which is the monkey bike that most of us remember at a school party or at a party. show country or a little rougher, he went right over the handlebars and my mom gave him a proper Bali King, but I remember that bike was ready on the Honda wing sticker on the tank.

I remember it being just spectacular, good quality and pretty quick Remember, this is not a fully automatic bike, it's a three speed manual gearbox with no clutch, so you can change gears and have that feeling, believe it or not, in a macular condition. Between twelve and fifteen thousand are sold. Libras now, which seems ridiculous for such a small thing, but there's almost a flourish. This is the first vehicle I have owned and my wife looked at it. It will look very good in the house and I don't think you should think about it. What I love about these is that they were very popular pit bikes for a lot of racing teams, so you see stock photos of Formula One pit race cars like that and you see a lot of the old Honda monkeys like the bikes they used to be. just high. around and of course you could just pick them up and put them in the back of a truck.

I think this weighs around 54 kilos, which is actually quite heavy for it in today's terms, but one person can lift it and put it in the trunk of a car that I use regularly, but today I'm going to ride this bike on a trip by road when I say road trip, it's not a massive road trip in today's terms, about 12 miles, but 12 miles in this with today's traffic doesn't ring a bell. a lot, but you have a lot of fun with one little thing and you know, I could take an electric bike, this is the Chimp Moto and I'll do another video on the Chimp Moto, this is a great product that I've championed. for a while from Singapore, however my chimpanzee motor is not registered yet so when it is registered I will make a couple more videos and it is fully electric and a wonderful little thing that pays homage to the old now Honda.

She didn't really invent small bicycles per se, but what Donna did was make small bicycles. Premium bought this in 2011-2012 after searching for a long time and this bike was owned by a British touring factor midget actor called Mick Walters, nicknamed the great Mick, who is I have been in numerous films playing small roles and even appeared in a black ad in the comedy series Black, which I loved. He used it as his daily transportation and said he couldn't ride a normal motor and couldn't drive. a regular car from the late 60's/early 70's, so this was his daily commuter.

My particular bike has been repainted and semi-restored over the years and that's because Mick painted it bright yellow around 1971. I have a photo. In fact, let me go and Get it, so there's Mick on my bike, well, he came by in nine, around 1970 and he put a big seat on the bat and he actually put an antenna on it with a flag on top and the reason The reason I did all that is because of his ability to make people just not see me. He was sitting here on a bike going through traffic in Yorkshire or London, which is where he was and it was, you know, a bit risky, like I said before, the Zent 100 is the same.

The first monkey bike, but this is the ed 100, it has this strange little white tank and it looks like a prototype, it has a bit of elegance to it and I think this bike I think is a more desirable bike, so you have a beautiful packaging here like I said no suspension so hard front hard rear no shocks at all this loop steel frame solid cast aluminum bushings rear brake here front brake there you can see these controls are from the Super Cub bike which was the bike that made Honda the masses were still mobilized they still do it with this engine the overhead valve 49 cc 4.4 brake horsepower 10000 rpm little chicken hunter that engine that engine has bird spawn so many stories the inspiration of so many people I had a country bike or We all had a couple of country bikes that were knocked out as Honda Cubs when we were kids, this engine has a lot to answer for because it's an absolute legend, it's worth an episode on its own so I'll do it in the future, this little and beautiful muffler that goes under the seat and then comes out to the exhaust pipe on this side down here obviously is the carburetor and the horn.

Now these bikes, although a lot of people in Europe bought them as pit bikes and Phil for their kids, at a lot of fun fairs they bought them and screwed them on for fun. rides for kids to play on, so I've seen a few come on sale over the years that have never been on the road, they've been used as fairground decorations which is a bit strange, but they always came with a front and rear light, they always came with a horn so you could always put them on the road. Honda made sure this looked novel, but this was a properly designed motorcycle.

The first few hundred are called white tank models and are painted white. The tank instead of red still has the beautiful chrome side parts with its rubber knee and then they have no speedometer on the top. I think there is no speedometer on top of the light unit here. That's a gallon of gasoline. How fun can you? I've used that or half or a quarter of that on a beautiful Saturday like this. Well, this will probably use about 1 pound of fuel today and I'll probably get more smiles and more looks than many, many, more expensive and glamorous ones. vehicles with bigger engines and I think that's the point, you can have a lot of fun with a little bit of fuel anyway.

I'll keep talking about this as we drive. I'm going to take this little one to see my other one. small, what is the Honda rs600 coupe, both 1965 Hondas, both top Hondas in terms of crazy, quirky engineering, really and both exceptionally rare now, strangely, because it's so small and low that it's much easier to kneel when actually I'm trying to start it, so turn it. The fuel tap opens and then it chokes. It's so micro that you can hardly choke it, it will tickle the carburetor or tickle you, so I haven't been on this bike for about a year.

I didn't use it much yesterday. I took it to my brothers shop, my brother Greg, it runs on old cars most of the time and we tested it, took the carburetor off, looked it over and gave it some adjustments, tested 12,000, look at that one, look at that 12 there, so es has been overtightened with an old o-ring, I would say even the wrong size causes the two outer ears to explode, yeah well we've all seen a bent flange and now Janee works much better than before, let's get started a little. of fuel coming out, okay, it's just that that's what's not two-stroke, it's not really Larry, so it sounds right.

I think it sounds pretty tough for such a small bike, so they have a great sound, right? I should better go. and put on some proper motorcycle gear. I am a responsible motorcyclist. I don't travel on the highway much, so I stopped him. I love this. That's what all vehicles do. They make you smile. You take them out from time to time. and it just runs away Oh subscribe yes thank you my god even a Fiat 500 looks huge it's hominid language in word you realize that first gear is so low it's like it has a little crawler now.

The indicators are just hand signals, so the throttle doesn't come back very quickly just so you can do hand signals and stuff, okay, tough intersection for the little guy, here we go, first second, yeah, yeah, okay that's at a speed of at least 25 miles per hour if there are about 60 there's no way they're acura speedos are the same 35 I find it hard to believe that I get the impression that I'm like a little fly that people want to swat , keep a fight on the wing, the wind is trying to blow me off course when I'm on these open country legs, yeah, a big round on a small bike, what's the worst that can happen?

That's not an answer, okay, it's time for the fuel station to take a drink and break down again, yes, it's easier to get up to change gears, although it's an automatic centrifugal clutch, how many people are already laughing from me cute boy Orion is Tiki don't be careful I don't think I'm going to need much fuel if I'm in it that's what it wants and so it was it's a fun economical classic vehicle £2 38 come on let's go and pay yeah it's a bit small what's wrong wrong I'm just relating the equipment to why my foot oh yeah she's got a full tank of petrol and she's ready to kick some ass ok or not MOT exempt tax exempt it cost me around Eighty pounds here make sure, in fact, it's less than that.

I think I'm using the gear because you know I don't ride my bike as much these days. I have kids who like the Evel Knievel jacket at some point, but that may come in the future, maybe in a second. I can't actually move my foot, that's it, my feet are too big, my legs are too long, just no. It doesn't quite work, this is the kind of weather I enjoy being outside oh my gosh, look at the size of that, there's a kid looking at me, so they really took off in a big way when the next version came out, which was the first one. generation of z50, whose desert 50 model is what we now know because confusingly it's called C's ed 100 but it's not a hundred CC, it's 49 50 because it's a moped, so when it came to the United States in '67 and they called it mini trail, that's when these things became hugely popular, they were used by youth clubs, campgrounds and RV owners in the iron owners camp and in America they are called minibikes but there is only one monkey and it's the Honda.

The reason Honda started making sports bikes is simply because sir. Honda was very fascinated by the TT, the Isle of Man TT is solely responsible for why Honda makes high performance motorcycles. Now they made the Zed 15 jumpsuit, which is obviously the godfather of the until 2017 when they made a couple of sweet limited editions. I think the last edition was actually fuel injected. I would love one of those and they made a 25 year edition. I think the 30 year old was gold plated and anyone bought one of those. Now I can see why the great Mick had a flag and a high backrest on his Caesar 100 because the feeling of vulnerability is quite high in these first monkeys in addition to the pieces being very collectible finding original pieces is especially difficult like all classics the older it is Originality makes people more attractive to tank badges, for example.

They are worth a lot of money if their date is original, yes. Oh, I have cramps. Oh, a little cramp in my right leg. Oh, I hate cramps. Oh, I hated that knee on the ground. I'm about to drive past an Aston Martin. I give you an idea of ​​how much bigger an Aston is than a monkey boy as monkey bikes progressed of course they became more and more foldable. This one is not really foldable. The seats have the same fixed position. The bars can be rotated and removed, but it's really the next generation. The bike is when things started to completely fall off and you can put the seat up for the adults, but the purity, the purity of the monkey, lies in this, that brake, that brake, the brakes are really good, it's not really that be particularly heavy, it weighs 54 kilos, which in terms of small bikes there is a lot without cobblestones, cobblestones and a hard rear and a hard front oh, it's complicated, let's check it out there on the monkey, it's complicated Oh, they're friends , just a small pothole becomes a real problem Volvo xc90 man that's a big vehicle this is some mountain stuff for this bad boy so in first gear I think it's a small town and it looks absolutely huge when you're in it.

Both cars look so big, so I play Frogger but with real lifewe get now with cars, maybe we are motorcycles? I think it's a really lovely little setup, you sit so low that the seats have very little legroom, it's a problem for me. I'll talk about that in another video, something I hadn't fully planned when I bought the car, but anyway the good thing is that this car has a very well preserved original interior, so with a little cleaning I think it will be fine. perfect, even the headliner is good, I love it, what a car, how beautiful: this is a pink Honda from the 60s, that bike, this car, although if you like fast bikes, it's probably not that bottom part, It's probably another Honda, but hey, you're really doing it.

Well, thanks, maybe now I know it's a difficult car. I'll be back in a couple of weeks. I'll try to get those other parts, but yeah, it's good, it's good to come and see it again. It's good to see you too. Yes, greetings. safe ride home yeah ok im going home listen guys thank you so much for subscribing to karpov if you haven't subscribed yet just click on it you don't know what you're going to get you might get some small bank I could get a small car, a big one, I could get a new car, I could get an old car, electric, who knows?
