Japanese automaker Honda has unveiled the 2022 version of its Monkey motorbike. Its debut in India seems unlikely.

It draws power from a Euro 5-compliant 124cc, air-cooled engine linked to a 5-speed gearbox. Here are more details.
The bike is offered in three shades
The 2022 Honda Monkey sits on a steel backbone frame and has a peanut-shaped fuel tank, a padded single-piece seat, an upswept exhaust, and chromed mudguards. It packs an LCD instrument console, an all-LED lighting setup, and rides on 12-inch wheels wrapped in block pattern tires. The bike is offered in Pearl Nebula Red, Banana Yellow, and Pearl Glittering Blue shades.
It is fueled by a 9hp, 124cc engine
The 2022 Honda Monkey draws power from a Euro 5-compliant 124cc, SOHC, air-cooled engine that generates 9.4hp of power at 6,750rpm and a peak torque of 11Nm at 5,500rpm. The mill is linked to a 5-speed gearbox. The bike has a claimed top-speed of 91km/h.
There are disc brakes on both the wheels
To ensure the safety of the rider, the 2022 Honda Monkey is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with IMU-based ABS for better handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the motorcycle are taken care of by USD forks on the front side and dual shock absorbers on the rear end.
