Who doesn’t love a Honda Monkey? OK, we’re sure there’s someone out there. For everyone else with joy in their hearts, though, here’s the Honda Donkey. It’s a custom build from Crazy Garage, Deus Ex Machina’s South Korean outpost. As the story goes, one day Honda Korea whispered in their ear, and CG basically said “cool, when can we start?”
A Monkey presents so many customization opportunities because it’s simple, approachable, and manageable. Most of all, it seems almost impossible to take too seriously—which, even in stock form, sets it apart from a lot of other bikes. There’s a sense of fun lurking behind just about every bolt, and that entire mindset seems pretty infectious if you’re around a Monkey long enough.
