It’s easy to get excited about the Honda Dio NSC110. A novice rider’s dream with only a learner’s licence needed, this scooter is a piece of (addictive) cake to ride. Light as a feather, it has seamless acceleration that goes at the ease of a twist. Its larger than usual wide-diameter wheels give it confident handling, and with Honda’s unique Combined Braking System (CBS) it really is an ideal first-time around-town runabout. Other things going for it are its Programmed Fuel-Injection engine (PGM-FI) which delivers precise amounts of fuel to the engine, and makes less of an impact on the environment and your pocket. It’s an easy trip to work with your laptop, bag and extra shoes in its spacious 25L under-seat storage. And night riding is no hesitation with its new two-tiered headlight system. The only hard part about riding this scooter every day, will be saying good night.

The Monkey was so much fun and so easy to ride, it did more to sell the concept of motorcycles to a wider public than perhaps any other machine. With its chunky tyres, mini-‘ape’ style handlebars, minuscule fuel tank and big, squashy seat the Monkey look is unmistakably of its time, but – just like the affection in which it is held – also timeless. Honda’s genuinely iconic mini-bike is re-imagined for the present day, with styling that draws heavily on the original, complemented by modern, premium touches such as USD forks, twin rear shocks, LCD instruments, IMU-based ABS and full LED lighting.
