Kato explained, Honda was forced to stop production of Monkey as they relate to technology and cost efficiency. Starting in 2017, Honda will produce the motorcycle in accordance with the rules of the European exhaust emissions.

"The model that we produce will have strict emission regulations. Enough to pass through three stages of European emission regulations will be very difficult that eventually led to the decision to stop the Monkey, "he said.

Previously, early March yesterday, Honda launched a special edition anniversary of the Honda Monkey 50th Anniversary for the Japanese market and is sold only 1,800 units. Not unexpectedly this is the model 'ultimate' before euthanized.
