The Honda Z series or Monkey Bike was a line of minibikes made by Honda which have a model number starting with the letter Z. The bike came to be known as a monkey bike because those riding them "looked like monkeys".[1]
With its compact dimensions, Z100 riders were described as looking like Monkeys, hence the term "Monkey Bike."
