Have the hardtail Z's been knocked off? Seems like everything else has... just curious. I looked at one tonight, and there is that little voice in the back of my head that ignores my wallet that is screaming GET ONE! Just wondering if they have been knocked off like the rest of the little honda's?

The hartail's have been knocked off but are a bastardization between the Monkey and the Hardtail and probably won't legally reach the US shores. If they do, they will be brought in in small quantities as they won't pass EPA or DOT requirements to be street legal and probably will be priced somewhere in the $1500 range or more.

How much does the average used/beat up/flakey/rusty hardtail frame run $$$ ?

ebay my friend. they range all over the place. some are good at pointing out flaws like missing tabs, worn out areas, rewelded areas.

reminds me of the fact that even Bad press is good press.

agreed. sometimes it was just a bit much but it did bring some good activity to the board. any way of inviting him back?

i may be a few years late but i'd like to see more street legal knock offs come through and see what kind of quality they are.
