I am jumping in again, even though I know very little about motorcycles and even less about the Honda Dax 125. This is a new model that was just released that allows you to build either the standard version in red, or the special edition Tamiya version in metallic blue. I think it is pretty cool that there was an actual special version of this bike that had markings for Tamiya, and was made only in the metallic blue color. I won't start on this build until I finish the plane and the boat I am currently building, but this looks like a fun build of a cool-looking bike. In the meantime, I can start doing some research on this bike. See you all soon.

Hi Spiros (@fiveten): I use Tamiya spray cans quite a bit. They spray really well and are easy to control. They don't work for everything, but they save a lot of time cleaning my airbrush when I can use the cans instead.

I had a feeling this was the bike kit you had on order, @gblair. It’s a reissue of their Honda Monkey kit with some updated parts and markings, a great little kit, I posted the original here a couple of years ago.

These little 1/12 scale Tamiya kits are fun, with the Monkey (which Ive built and shared here) and Dax being much less complex than something larger and not aircooled.

As for the Dax, this isnt something currently sold in the US market, likely because it would detract too many sales from the Monkey, Grom (both which shares its underpinnings), and the Trail 125.

Looking forward to seeing your experience with this build.

@gblair. COOL! U will have fun with that :). @chinesegeorge the Dax and Monkey are 2 completely different bikes

Oops, my mistake, Cricket @bikequeen and @gblair, it seems to be a new tool kit and has got a good review on the US IPMS web site. It’s listed as a “companion” item to the Monkey on Tamiya’s web site. Looking forward to the build, George.
