When i was 13, i had a 1977 Z50 and i sold it for $100 after like 2 years

. Now im 27 and i really want a Z50 again. But not as a rebuild project.. i want one already mint or new and street legal in Quebec/Canada. Im thinking about getting a z50 replica.. Which one is the best ? please post url !

The 1973-1978 Softtails are the best bargain in the mini market right now as they don't bring huge prices like the 1969-1971 hardtail models. Watch for them on ebay and you'll find some really nice ones for under $1000.

As far as the chinese replicas, once you buy that bike, you are going to have a hard time selling it for what you paid for it, and most have wiring issues of some sort, the bearings in the wheels are garbage, some models the bars don't fit right, the wheel halves are made of tinfoil and bend easy, the list goes on and on.

The best quality remake was made by Jincheng, the Lifan Pitbulls are lower quality then those and the quality gets worse from there.

Take your time and find a good Honda, or spend $300 and build your own from the base you purchased.

If you want the honda 50 to be street legal in Quebec/Canada you'd better try and find the rare 1988 Honda ZB 50.

It won't take much to get a Z50 street legal in Canada, although it may take time to put everything together.

Why you selling if you dont mind me asking?

Is it plated?

Still a stock panda?

Pimpindahoes · 02-07-2006, 10:56 PM

plated YES
stock NO

it has a complete 88 race head kit with 20mm carb
also two rear sprockets. 28T and 30T Kitaco

no time to ride it and i have other projects that i would rather be working on.

says it has 100miles on it but theres probably only about 50-70 actual miles on it.

if you know of anyone that wants it let me know..i need to replace the stator before it leaves here.
