Tech Team’s Monkey Garage Honda Z 50 J1 in the driving report

Snappy squirrel monkey

The nice brunette doesn’t know any better: “Oh, she’s cute!” Sparkling chrome mudguards, small eight-inch wheels and foldable handlebar halves from the Tech Team’s Monkey Garage Honda Z 50 J1 completely fulfill the child’s scheme.

Bonsai dimensions, a mere 68.5 kilograms and a compact 2.96 meter turning circle match this. But you should check out the Tech Team’s M.Don’t be fooled onkey Garage-Honda Z 50 J1: Squirrel monkeys are aggressive and snappy! Mr. Nilsson from Pippi Longstocking is fiction. Only the dents in the royal blue 4.5 liter tank are real. “They come from a Ducati driver who couldn’t believe it,” says owner and builder Burkhard Tech. Together with his partner Peter Sturm Tech Team’s Monkey Garage in Duisburg-Walsum, close to the Rhine.

More experience per kilometer per hour!

Burkhard and Peter are importers for mini parts from Yoshimura in this country. This is why the technology carrier has tons of premium parts: a Yoshimura head sits on the nikasil-coated cylinder for 55.5 millimeters of piston stroke with a 56 mm bore. With inlet / outlet valve measuring 28 and 24 millimeters, including additional oil cooling, tuning camshaft, roller rocker arm with adjusting shims and Iridium spark plug. A 26 mm flat slide carburetor with a nozzle tube ensures effective ventilation. An aluminum intake funnel with an air accelerator extends the gas column and feeds the cylinder of the Tech Team’s Monkey Garage Honda Z 50 J1 fuel “like a shower head”. And just as refreshing.

If you sit far back in the leather-covered, 68 centimeter-low seat, you provoke powerwheelies in second gear or frighten passers-by when you start the traffic light. The Tech Team’s Monkey Garage Honda Z 50 J1 front wheel rises quite high. You feel like King Louis as your helmet rushes by at the level of the car mirror. More experience per kilometer per hour! Instead of the original 36 km / h, it is now around 125 km / h. At around 12,500 revolutions, the little single turns the soul out of the body. Without vibrating excessively. The enormous driving pleasure is reciprocal to the size.

Where to put your knees?

The one-man seat from the Tech Team’s Monkey Garage Honda Z 50 J1 is super comfortable. Just where to put your knees? The fully dampened replacement struts never leave you in the dark about the asphalt condition. Hard but hearty. The pencil-thin, slightly dampened fork works more comfortably. The single disc at the front requires a lot of hand strength; the drum in the rear wheel is always available for hearty braking drifts. Small cattle also make crap. When there are weird moments in life, the studded tires provoke wobbly behavior in curves.

But straight ahead, the Tech Team’s Monkey Garage Honda Z 50 J1 is unexpectedly stable. Follow the five centimeter longer swing arm. Peter named his monkey, which cost a good 13,000 euros, “Blumchen”. Does that fit? “Logical, dandelion: it has blown many.” Burkhard, on the other hand, has around 20 monkeys of his own at home.
