Fifteen Horsepower of Fun

We’ve featured some very cool, very fast motorbikes here over the years. The Honda Mini Trail ‘Monkey Bike’ is not one of them.

However we would take this diminutive 125cc practical joke of a motorcycle over literally any other two-wheeled machine, because it’s hilarious.

Powered by a 15bhp 125cc engine (or engines even smaller), Honda’s Mini Trail is not going to win any off-road competitions, but it going to make the rider look very funny, and that’s reason enough for us to love it.

This near-perfect Technic replica of the Mini Trail 125cc comes from ianying616, and we can confirm that with a TLCB Elf strapped atop, it’s just as funny as the real thing. Click the link above for 125cc of fun!

Power to the People

Honda 125

Normally seen somewhere underneath 3 children, their parents, a great Aunt, a basket of rice and a 6ft roll of carpet

Honda’s CG 125 is one of the great mobilisers of the modern world, capable of carrying whole families, delivering carpet, drain-pipes and live animals, and even in a few cases I’ve seen, entire shops (roof, shelving, stock and all). Nico71 has produced the superb Technic version above; see more in his gallery on Brickshelf.
