Sometimes the sign of a great motorcycle isn’t in its size or displacement but in its fun-per-dollar quotient. Case in point, the highly modified Viba Jane Honda Monkey that uses the retro-cool Z-series bike and makes it tres chic. The French bike shop has taken this diminutive moto that uses the iconic and controversial actresses moniker and gives it nifty 3D printed parts including an aluminum tank that saves weight and a front fender that’s also a rack for small item transport. Much of the rest of the bike gets a stealthy black treatment. Wheels, rear fender, exhaust, frame and suspension components all get darkened, and the seat gets clad in grey linen with a contrasting orange strap. If you live in a tightly-packed, bustling city and you’re not the size of an NFL lineman, you may just have found your stylish, economical, and quite zippy three-season mode of transportation.
