Le Temps des Series'

Hi all

Sorry that this is not a Landy related question, but i am after a old Honda monkey bike. They were never that common in the UK, but I noticed there are still plenty aroung in France. I saw loads during our honeymoon and now want one to put on the back of the 2a Forward Control Dormobile camper I am building. Has anyone got one for sale? I will consider one in any condition as I love mending things.

I will be at the National and have posted my money, so would collect from there if one appears. Very much looking forward to meeting you all there.

Please can one of you very kind people post this request in the correct place in the french section, because I would only get it wrong and end up offending someone.

Cheers Mick

No problem about this non-landy topic
But only one problem for most of us : what a monkey-bike actually is ???

well just had a look trough google 'images'...

do you mean a mini bicycle or a mini motorbike ?

if motorbike (as i can guess...) one or two places ? and what engine size ??
and some more details to help us to make an announcement in french in the 'wanted' section (petites annonces)

Sorry for being stupid. Hope this works this is a picture of a Chinese replica which are very poor quality so I have been told.

They are called Monkey Bikes in the UK . CC is not an issue 50cc 70cc or 90cc are all fine with me

Cheers Mick

Hi Jabbawocky,

in France, very popular in the French Riviera, it's named DAX and only avalable in 70 cc

Hi Jérôme

Thanks for the info. A 70cc Dax would be just the job. Please can you ask if anyone has one for sale? Can they supply the Rivera sun shine as well?

Cheers Mick

Hi Jabbawocky,

in the south of France, near Marseille, I've found one :
it seems like in good condition for a used Monkey Bike but not originaly color... this one with a special white...
around 700 / 750 £

( just to have a look at first )

Hello, landyman, could you also add a new topic about the "Rivera sun shine" because I think Mike would prefer to have it first?

if you like to "drive" this one, and cross Dniepr for free
free ride or in exchange with you "blue shoe"

Ural: hand made at home, so not a chinese ...(censor)
just say:"c'est chaud"

So, further to your post, i've put a call for such a bike here :

It appears that honda monkey bikes are very fashionable for the moment, just looking at the prices...

Tidax offers a Honda XL 125 (choice of two) not so pricey. Might worth a thought.
