The Honda Gorilla was introduced in August 1978 as the larger sibling of the Monkey, sharing the same 49cc air-cooled SOHC single-cylinder engine (also used in the Super Cub) but fitted with a distinctive oversized 9-litre fuel tank and a manual 4-speed gearbox. Where the Monkey used 5-inch wheels, the Gorilla ran 8-inch rims, and its visual identity was dominated by that swelled tank, which gave the bike its name. The Z50J-III designation refers to the third series variant of the Z50J platform. Production ran until 1992, resumed briefly in 1998, and the type developed a devoted collector following well beyond its original market. Tamiya's 1/6 Big Scale kit, first released in 1980, is part of the company's flagship motorcycle series and reproduces the bike to a high level of detail.
