Cool bike I saw on Ebay. Apparently never ridden.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZalgoQ3dSIQ26ituQ3dUCIQ252BUAQ252BFICSQ26otnQ3d12Q26poQ3dLVIQ26psQ3d54QQ_trksidZp3907Q2em263QQcategoryZ6708QQitemZ140342970138#ht_500wt_1182

Does anyone know about these. I mistook it for a modern Ruckus when I first saw the pic.

Its a 40 year old Z50 restored (somewhat--the chrome tank is tacky & would look real good with just a stock painted one).  Its 50cc of automatic clutch , manual shift fury & stands about knee high at the seat.  7 out of 10 motorcycle riders learned on a Honda Z.  That is an early hardtail model--more collectable than the later soft tails.

I second that!



imo a soft tail is nicer.  I didn't have a hard tail, but I had a nice pair of frozen shocks...

It seems to me that some models came with a chrome tank.

Just the 1986 Christmas special given to dealerships by Honda as a Christmas present.  Most dealers then sold them to the public.  It was all chrome with a red seat & grips.
