Just got back from a mini S.F. group ride. It was a blast riding around town like a bunch of hooligans. We had a total of 5 bikes on the ride: 2 Monkeys, a Honda Ape, a Honda ZB50, and a CBR150. The day started out a bit foggy/misty but turned out pretty good.


At the starting point






And we're off!



First stop - Twin Peaks

 

Third stop - Crissy Field in the Marina



After stopping by the bridge, the next tourist spot is Lombard St.




From Lombard we rode by Downtown on our way to eat in the Mission





Thats all the pictures I have. I'm waiting for the other guys to post their pictures. Two of them was able to get some footage of the ride also. Once they get them up, I'll post them.

 

Some pics from one of the other guys on the ride....

At Twin Peaks



Going toward Ocean Beach


At Ocean Beach heading up toward the Cliff House (man I look like a fat *** )



By the Golden Gate Bridge

 

Neat

Where does one get a CBR150? Canada?

The Ape looks a little over-tired

 

that looks like the raddest ride ever! nice pics

 

Yup, the CBR is from Canada. They're made in Thailand and super popular over there.

I think it's stock tire sizing on the Ape. It's (one with the white tank) pretty fast. It has a 115cc motor with a Takegawa dry clutch.

 

I've seen you guys around before. Those bikes look fun!

 

Awesomesauce

SF is such a beautiful city, my dad visited it a couple of times and always brought a lot of pictures, I loved watching them all.

Those little bikes are so awesome, I bet they're a blast to ride.

 

Haha...this is the normal reaction from people every time we stopped

The Honda Monkeys are almost the same as the US Honda Z50's. The Honda ZB50's were sold in the US for a very limited time. Honda Ape's and CBR150's are grey market bikes and never sold in the US. Your best bet is to find one already plated. They pop up every so often but expect to spend $1500+.

Once you get one and want to mod them, expect to see your pocket book dwindle. I've already put about $1500 into mine and it's nowhere close to where I want it to be. The Monkey with the red tank and the ZB50 both have over $8k into them (including the cost of the bike)

We were hoping for two more guys to show up. One has a bad *** ZB and the other one has a clean Monkey. One of the guys that couldn't make it was none other than MotoLiam from the Alice Ducati Moto GP team

 

bad *** man

 

The CBR 150 looks like a monstrous beast next to all of those.

But in any case ... do want.

 

Two of my favorite things, mini bikes and San Francisco. Awesome!

 

That 2nd pix of that monkey with the tri-oval looked familiar. Was the owners name Brad?

 

looks fun...i know all those areas...haha

Yup. The Ape is his also.

 

If someone is looking for a Honda Monkey R (aka ZB50), here's a plated one in Socal. Looks to have some minor mods (Takegawa tach/speedo ($400) & and some motor stuff).
