OPO 10 - Dinky Toys Atlas - HONDA S800 1408 1:43 (MB316)

Product Information

With the low-carbon market very much in its burgeoning stages of development, the Insight arrived as a breath of fresh air against its – admittedly limited – competition. The result was A Short Ride in the Jungle, a truly excellent book which is both moving and funny; and the good news is she’s now narrated it as an audio book. Suspension: front independent by struts, coil springs rear beam axle, leaf springs; telescopic dampers f/r

This turned holidaymaker road rage into waves and smiles, but as we only had one size fits all large it did make us look like a bag of stuffed carrots,” said John. Dinky’s real popularity grew postwar and these are the toys they are most recognized for today. A new series of toys was introduced in 1938, series 36. The majority of these models were produced post WW2. Models in series 36 included, a Rover Saloon, a Bentley 2 seat sports coupe, an Armstrong-Siddeley limousine, a British Salmson 4-seater convertible, a British Salmson 2 seat convertible, and a Humber Vogue coupe.The only comparable monkey bikes recently available have been WK Bikes Colt 50, which has nothing like the credibility or performance of the Hondas, and Benelli’s TNT 125, which is now deleted, and was more of a budget Grom-rival than an alternative to the Monkey. I heard of a British manufacturer of luxury SUVs who bought a new Lamborghini Urus to secretly test the drivetrain, and an apprentice borrowed it and crashed it in less time than it took me to type this sentence. The apprentice learned a valuable lesson, but nobody learned much about design secrets.

But not any more. The chap in the posters for the J125 may have a blonde hanging on his leather-clad arm, but he is, gulp, wearing a tie.Although not cheap to buy compared to some mini or monkey bikes, the Honda Monkey 125, and its MSX125 Grom sibling, should be as cheap as chips to run.

In fact, so ‘clean’ was the Insight, it was the only car to fall into the new VED Band A (up to 100g/km) tax grouping at the time of the banding’s introduction in 2005. Out on the road, Honda’s weight‑saving and efficient way of thinking means the 838kg Insight doesn’t feel underpowered, despite its meagre power output. It’s not fast (0 to 62mph takes around 12.0 seconds), thanks to its long, eco‑minded gearing.Areas with the highest ratio of vehicles stolen last year - find out the risk level for your motor outside your home The appeal of Volkswagens is not entirely lost on me, although I think Jarman’s is the only Beetle I have driven for any serious distance. The 2022 Honda Monkey Bike is here, with a new five-speed gearbox and an engine that conforms to Euro5 emissions regulations. We've yet to ride that version, though, so in this review we're dealing with the 2018-2021 version instead. According to the former keeper, it was inherited by Ringo Starr when Lennon and Yoko Ono moved from the country estate to New York. Air-conditioning was standard in some markets, too, and a raft of eco-minded displays include an economy shift indicator as well as a fuel mileage computer, which can be toggled between fuel economy, either a ‘lifetime’ or instantaneous 0 to 150mpg readings.

Enzo Ferrari apparently once said “I don’t sell cars; I sell engines. The cars I throw in for free since something has to hold the engines in.” It’s a good assumption that if the drivetrain is good, the car is good. I’m not arguing with Enzo. He knew how to build a car. The only downside to this soft ride is that the Monkey has a max permissable weight limit of 105kg, which you could easily reach if you’ve got all your gear on and a bag full of ‘swag’.

Inside the interior is in red and fairly simple but shows the dashboard and steering wheel, two seats and luggage area well. Grip from the 165/65 R 14 low rolling‑resistance tyres is good, and the dinky Honda changes direction well, no doubt a result of that lightweight, almost obsessive attention to detail.
