REZ Industries Turns 2024 Honda Monkey 125 into a Chopper

REZ Industries has turned a 2024 Honda Monkey 125 into the GeeGee Chop, a small-format chopper built in Taiwan for a customer who planned to ride it. The project keeps the Monkey’s original frame and rear twin-shock suspension instead of converting the bike into a hardtail.

That decision leaves the donor bike recognizable beneath the taller front end, ape-hanger bars, and bright flame paint. The result follows the proportions of a traditional chopper while retaining the compact Honda platform.

5 Best 125cc Motorcycles You Can Buy

I’m a huge fan of 125cc motorcycles. They’re fun and easy to ride, usually rather simple machines, and they’re extremely affordable. If you want to get on a bike and not spend an arm and a leg, a small bike with a small engine size, like a 125cc motorcycle, is the way to go.

With that in mind, I wanted to take a quick look at the best 125cc motorcycles that you can buy right now in North America. There have been more bikes popping up in this segment lately, and that means you have more options than ever. Here are the five best 125cc motorcycles.

What Honda’s WN7 Means for Electric Motorcycle Ownership

Honda is bringing its WN7 electric motorcycle to Australia through a subscription instead of a normal retail sale. The arrangement gives riders access to the bike for two years at AU$400 per month, with registration included.

Honda Australia is accepting registrations of interest now, positioning the WN7 as a limited opportunity for riders who want to try the company’s first full-sized electric motorcycle. The approach also gives Honda a way to place the bike with customers without setting a conventional purchase price.

The 3 Best 100cc Motorcycles

Small-displacement motorcycles are undergoing a major global resurgence. Whether you are searching for an ultra-affordable city commuter, a lightweight starter bike, or a heavy-duty utility machine, motorcycles with engine sizes around 100cc offer unmatched fuel economy, accessible seat heights, and effortless handling.

While true 100cc street bikes are rare in Western markets like the U.S., major manufacturers produce some of the most reliable two-wheelers in the world within this class. Below is a breakdown of the top ~100cc motorcycles and mopeds on the market today.

Could Honda’s 2027 CB300F Twister Be the Small Bike Brazil Actually Needs?

Honda has launched the 2027 CB300F Twister in Brazil with sharper styling, added equipment, and a powertrain that can run on petrol or ethanol. Prices start at BRL 26,880, which works out to roughly Rs. 4.93 lakh before taxes and local costs.

The update matters because Honda has kept the bike in the approachable 300cc class while giving it a few features usually associated with larger machines. There is no word yet on whether Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India plans to bring this version back after the earlier CB300F struggled in that market.

Does Honda’s CB1000F Prove Retro Bikes Are Ready to Compete With Modern Sportbikes?

Honda just took the wraps off its newest retro, the CB1000F, with a hillclimb run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It’s drawing direct inspiration from the legendary CB750F that Freddie Spencer piloted through the American AMA championships in the 1980s, but updated for 2026 riders who want style without sacrificing tech.

Under the skin sits a 1000cc inline-four engine borrowed from the Fireblade and re-worked for real-world punch. The result: 122 horsepower at 9000rpm and 76 lb-ft of torque at 8000 rpm.

10 Best 50cc Scooters In America

These are the best 50cc scooters in America that you can buy right now.

I talk a lot about motorcycles on this website, but there is another two-wheeled machine that deserves serious credit: the 50cc scooter.

Plenty of motorcycle riders write off 50cc scooters, but they miss the point. These machines are simple to maintain, easy to maneuver, and cheap to run. They pull triple-digit fuel economy numbers, fit into tight parking spaces, and offer built-in storage space that most street motorcycles can only dream of.

Can Honda’s V3R 900 E-Compressor Redefine How We Think About Performance?

Honda just filed a design patent that signals the V3R 900 E-Compressor is moving from concept to production.

The document, published in early July after a March filing with Australia’s IP office, shows a road-ready version of the 900cc machine with mirrors, signals, reflectors, and a license plate holder. It’s the clearest look yet at how Honda plans to turn its radical electric supercharger concept into a street bike.

Custom Honda CL360 Scrambler by Slipstream Creations

James Fawcett of Slipstream Creations breathed new life into a neglected 1975 Honda CL360 scrambler, a bike with immense sentimental value that had been given to its owner, Chris, for his 14th birthday back in 1985.

Over the course of four decades, the motorcycle had lapsed into severe disrepair from being stored outdoors, prompting a complete restomod transformation. Utilizing the CL360’s robust tubular steel frame, Fawcett stripped away unnecessary factory tabs and welded on a custom rear seat hoop bent from one-inch chromoly steel.

Custom Honda CB750F1 by Matthias Ebenhoch

Matthias Ebenhoch, a German engineer looking for an escape from his desk job, picked up a 1978 Honda CB750F1 Super Sport with a straightforward plan: spend three years and €10,000 to build a clean café racer.

Instead, between career shifts, relocations, and renovating a century-old house, the project stretched into a grueling nine-year, 1,300-hour obsession.
