So why don't you get those pictures so we can stop wondering how you managed to fit a 160cc DOHC 6 speed into you frame and how the suspension works and gets like a foot of travel and then on top of that, the bike has a top speed of 100mph? We are all wondering...

Save your $$$$$ and find an unmolested one like I have.
Well worth the money and I bet you the bike will raise in value being the rarest Honda ever made. Good Investment? no dents or scratches.
Each dealer only got two zb's, back in 1988.

Why are the tank decals fuzzy? Are they photoshopped?

No photoshop.It is an original Honda. Decals may be fuzzy because of no flash on my cam??

103? Original? Wow! Now that I have an odometer on my Z50R, I notice how much I drive. I've probably put on 1000 miles since I got it.

I am looking for one of these also. I DO NOT want to restore it or make it original, I want it to cruise around the streets and go to the store and stuff. Is that EBAY bike any good for that. I have the shop and skills to fabricate some stuff and am not worried about it looking original. I would like to put a hopped up GPX 125 motor in it, etc... Just need to be able to register it in New Mexico is all so that I can ride it on the street. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes original - I bought it with 99 miles. Drove it around the neighborhood a little. It has minor imperfections though - driven or not it has been handled for the past 18 years.

I have it titled, licensed and insured though - so I can drive it on the street.
