As early as 2020, there was news that Honda would revive the DAX125, until March 19 this year at the Osaka Motor Show, the new DAX125 was delayed, and the official picture of the model was also exposed for the first time, the classic is still a classic, and the aesthetics will not change with time in the short term.
Speaking of honda DAX cars, we have to mention the Honda MONKEY, the origin of this series of mini cars is a toy model called Z100.
Z100
In 1961, the Honda Z100 was a pocket toy model designed specifically for a ride in the amusement park, equipped with 5-inch wheels, foldable handlebars and a 49cc engine with a power of 4.2 horses, because the initial setting was a fun model of the amusement park, and did not need to deal with a variety of complex road conditions, so this car was not initially equipped with a suspension system, it only needed to carry the rider to complete its mission. Because of its small size and small displacement, it is easy to control, so that almost all age groups of tourists can drive this small motorcycle. The pleasure it brings in itself makes it deeply loved by the public, and the nickname "Monkey" is affectionately called by those who like it.
In 1963, Honda realized that this car had a high popularity among consumers, decided to directly road the Z100, and officially launched it in some countries in Europe and Asia, and named it CZ100, at which point Honda MONKEY opened a chapter in the history of motorcycle mini cars.
The Honda DAX followed THE DEBUT OF MONKEY IN 1970, WHEN THE HONDA DAX APPEARED AS THE ST50, ST70 AND ST90, AND BY 1972, THE CUMULATIVE SALES OF THE DAX HAD REACHED 700,000 UNITS.
Due to its resemblance to the shape of the German short-legged dachshund, it is called DAX, but it is also called giraffe due to the shape of the frame.
The most recent revamp in history was in 1995, with a 50cc four-stroke engine with a maximum horsepower of 2.6 hp, with an outdoor and recreational orientation. The overall shape is more stylish and modern, and it was discontinued in 2000 after many years of commercialization.
A generation of god car CB750
In the context of the era when the 1969 generation of god car CB750 swept the entire car world and directly led to the direct closure of some European car manufacturers, Honda's models were popular around the world, and it can be said that Honda's mini motorcycle is the epitome of the era of motorcycle fashion in 1970.
Baby Beast and CB750 in the 70s to achieve Honda's motorcycle empire, mini car from MONKEY is to further lay honda's global entertainment motorcycle market foundation, I personally feel that Honda's resurrection of young beasts and mini car series, not only stay in the resurrection of the intention, more like Honda in the 70s of the glory.
summary
MSX125
Today, the Honda MSX125 mini motorcycle has successfully demonstrated through its market performance around the world that the masses still need this affordable and easy-to-use fun model, not only for ordinary people who are still ignorant of motorcycles, but also for fans with rich riding experience.
After Honda's classic model MONKEY125 stirred up a thousand waves, in fact, the resurrection of the DAX125 is not far away, not only because of the common parts of the two vehicles, but also the re-production of the DAX125 can be carried out under the effective control of cost. Moreover, because in recent years, there has been no major innovation in small displacement mini models, and everyone is the same.
But the problem that domestic Moyou have to face is still Honda's market strategy for mainland sales, I hope that domestic manufacturers can do something more about this phenomenon, we already have a little golden boy and Yami, if you can come back to a giraffe, as long as the quality and taste are done, I believe that Honda will not come in fact, everyone will not care too much.
