Bring sunglasses for sure.
Did you know that 2025 will be 60 years since Honda initially entered the Thai market? I didn’t until now, but thanks to the announcement of the new Honda New Monkey Chrome Legacy special edition from Cub House Honda in Thailand, this fact is now shared knowledge between us.
It brims with joy and pride as it marks the 60th anniversary of one of the globe’s most beloved motorcycle makers. The bike flaunts a shiny chrome finish on the fuel tank and body parts, while additional styling elements pay homage to Honda’s rich legacy and its iconic Monkey model.
You receive a logo featuring the classic Honda wing emblem alongside two small silver monkeys tracing a precise lineage back to the original Monkey from 1967, which had just a 49cc engine. The motorcycle’s seat comes adorned with vintage-style black leather upholstery and is encircled by stainless steel studs serving as notable embellishments for this ride.
Like how Honda occasionally offers special editions (unfortunately, typically not available in the U.S.), there’s an exclusive limited-edition helmet designed to accompany this motorcycle. This helmet features the same emblem as the Chrome Legacy Monkey, adorned with twin monkey symbols and a touch of elegant 60th Anniversary lettering.
Every one of these Chrome Legacy Monkeys will come with individual numbering and a distinct serial number plate exclusive to each motorcycle. The introduction of this bike took place at the 2025 Bangkok International Motor Show, ongoing until April 6, 2025. This particular date holds significance for those who wish to own the Chrome Legacy Monkey since it will only be accessible up till then. Should you desire to purchase one, ensure you visit any Cub House outlet across Thailand to submit your order before the deadline passes.
The suggested retail price for the Chrome Legacy Monkey is ฿117,000, equivalent to approximately US$3,445 as of this writing.
Given that this monkey is associated with a particular celebration in a specific part of Thailand, it’s unlikely to be spotted elsewhere. Are you, if based in Thailand or having visited, intrigued by riding such a monkey-themed attraction? What are your thoughts about the coordinating helmet? Share your opinions below.
