    Donkey bike in real life

    i don't know much about bikes.
    and i always thought the donkey in game is some kind of funny model devs created, which doesn't exist in real life.

    until i saw this photo today
    Spoiler:  Show
    taken by someone on his trip in japan

    Yes this is a "chappy" i think this one is not very old
    We have a lot of them in france (mostly in south france)
    Many of my friends had one when we were teens, it's a very fun bike but like the donkey kinda dangerous too.
    For me the donkey was always a "chappy" but now when i see one i say "look a donkey"

    And most of these little bikes are 125cc so you can imagine how crazy it is to ride them (like the donkey)

    Very unique and funky-looking in real life. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that in the States.

    I'll have to show this to my uncle. He's been a big bike lover/owner for years and his reaction should be interesting.

    Since the RL is from Finland, I assume the bike to have somekind of finnish roots...

    This donkey has been favourite motorcycle in Finland from 1976 until 2005 when the skooters came more popular. ()
    the donkey was called "Honda Monkey"


    Almost all of my friends got one. Normally they run only 45km/h which was limited. But with a little tweak you could go easily 70km/h.
    And if you upgraded some parts you could go a bit faster. I've tested friends monkey ~110km/h.

    Another popular bike was suzuki PV, which doesn't remind of the donkey that much.

    I want one. It's funny because I am too much of a wuss to ride a real motorcycle but I would totally ride that thing.
