History:
The Honda Gorilla was introduced in the late 1970s as a variant of the popular Honda Monkey, designed with a slightly larger frame and tank for improved practicality while keeping its compact charm. It quickly became a cult favourite for its quirky styling and fun-to-ride nature. Over the years, aftermarket specialists like Takegawa developed a wide range of performance and styling upgrades, allowing owners to personalise their Gorillas for both looks and performance. The Takegawa Ver.1 represents a classic approach to customising, blending enhanced engine components with unique styling touches that reflect Japan’s vibrant mini-bike culture. Today, the Honda Gorilla continues to be celebrated among collectors and riders for its iconic status, playful character, and customisation potential, standing as a symbol of Honda’s innovative small-displacement motorcycles.
