Honda Monkey Bike Returns From the Dead

Honda has announced that the famed monkey bike will be returning to its line up.  The engine in the new monkey bike has been significantly cleaned up and features both fuel injection and catalytic convertors.  The result is an engine that puts out 3.4bhp (isn't that less than the original?) but gets a consistent 282mpg while traveling at a top speed of 19mph.

Two versions of the Monkey bike will be produced, the standard and a limited Edition.  The limited edition model will be called the "De Luxe" and features a chrome plated mudguard and headlight surround.  There are currently no plans to bring the monkey bike into the US and it will cost about $4000 in the domestic Japanese market.
