In town with a buddy and was bored and decided to check CL.. opinions on any?

Main one was this.
Honda Z 50 Mini Trail Restored Z50

The opportunity to have a hardtail
EARLY 1968 HONDA Z50 MINI TRAIL

fat tire deal
1997 Honda Z 50 R

that first restored bike is kinda grabbing my attention..

the first one is nice

mxr33 · 03-06-2008, 04:31 PM

all 3 are nice, i would go for the first one

1 is not really restored IMO. Just cleaned up. Looks good though for a project.

2 is photoshopped and the guy did a terrible job. Tank and tire are most obvious points. I wouldn't buy it.

3 if price were not an issue this would be my choice. Even though price is an issue, this still has the lowest price. Looks like a good deal on a good bike.

Actually the 1st one is mine.
I have worked in auto body all my life and paint these myself.
All paint used is PPG clear coat basecoat.
The photos don't do justice on my bikes! If you see it in person it is very nice!
I built this one for my 11 year old son, but painted another Z50 Mitsubishi orange and he liked that color better. I actually painted a 73 Z50 for Wurms on this forum as well, and he seemed very happy with the outcome!
These are mine on Craigslist as well!

1974 Blue Honda CT70 Trail Bike Restored CT 70

1977 Honda CT 70 Trail Bike Restored Street Legal CT70

I dismantle and go through the bike and repaint everything and fix or replace whatever needs it, Just a hobby of mine but I have 3 Ct70's and 3 Z50's right now and need to get rid of some, I got bit by the mini bug hard! LOL

Chris does awesome paint work! You must see the stuff in person to fully appreciate it..

Thanks Jude!

Nice been waiting to see some photos!

i've always liked that burnt orange paint. to bad for me that your bike is already painted that color as i would have opted to go that color too.

profgrif · 03-11-2008, 02:26 PM

I have enough of that color to do one more bike, I have one and Wurms has one that color. I don't care if you use that color, Can't say if Wurms would be upset though. LOL
