Planet Minis

chimp · 06-19-2009, 09:12 AM

Honda made a mini that was not imported to the US, maybe only Japan an Europe. I have no pic because I can't remember the name of the site I saw them on. Anyway, they produced two similiar models and in the pic I saw both bikes apeared to be slightly larger than a z50 or monkey. The motors have vertical cylinders instead of the horizontal type. The names of the bikes were in english so maybe they were imported to Australia, New Zealand or the UK. Any info. on these bikes would be appreciated. I am curious as what years they were made and what countries were they available in.

I am NOT talking about the Ape, Gorilla, EZ cub 90 , ZB50 or the small Honda that looks similiar to the old Rokons.

Thanks!

Nope, not even close....The Hondas that I am talking about both had smaller wheels similiar to the z50. The tanks and seats were slightly different than a Z. I think the site I saw them on was a Dax Tuning site but I cannot remember the site. The names of the bikes were english sounding names. Both bikes are factory Honda and not customs. They maybe from the 1990's I am not sure.

Yes, that is the one! Honda also made another model that is slighty different. Do you or anyone else know when they were made and what countries were they avalable. Any info would be great! Thanks.

Thanks Mattmofob! The olive green CY50 J is one of the pictures I saw and I like the most out of the two. When were they produced....three or four speeds?....Auto or manual clutch?...What countries had them?

Just a my thoughts but I think Honda would sell way more Motras today than they do the crappy looking Ruckus.

According to wikipedia it was a successor to the Honda Dax, and sold from about 1977 to 1983 in Germany.
Looks like they were 4 speeds.

Wow! The one with Gran Pa and the kid looks like it would be an easy blast to ride. IMO, the U.S. gets screwed now and then with Honda not selling certain bikes here.

Look up the suzuki RV90, it uses atv tires and is street legal.
