If you could only have a:
1. ZB50
2. Christmas edition Z50R
3. NSR50R
Which would you choose and why?
Which do you think will be worth the
most 20 yrs. from now?

BTW, I bought a honda '04 NSR50R saturday!!!
Pics to follow!!!

The best part is it's faster than my brother in laws
Yamaha YSR50!

ZB50 cause its street legal
Dont care what its worth in 20 yrs cause if I ever got a ZB I would NEVER sell it

fastbmw · 09-17-2006, 11:38 PM

Tell me about it. I still can't believe I have 3 ZB's. I keep wanting to sell one but my heart is telling me no!

I do love the nsr50, but only for track use.

slickz50r · 09-17-2006, 11:51 PM

I agree being street legal is a Big plus.

Fast, you can park your ZB's in my garage anytime.

FastMC · 09-18-2006, 04:43 PM

I'd say for riding the ZB. For collecting (dust) the Christmas special will have a better value later only because it's a special edition.

If i had to leave them all stock ide have to go with the NSR.

ZBs in stock form are as slow as a snail and corner like a BroncoII

If I could have any one in mint condition, it would be the Z50RD. Sweet looking bike in my opinion and everyone here knows I'm a Z50R fan. Having a chrome twin bike would be sweet. They are awesome. (The one in this picutre needs to have the bars moved forward a bit but it's the best picture I could find on my computer.)

RAZZO · 09-19-2006, 10:54 PM

Collector value - ZB50 - one for every two Xmas Spl's.

Big fun - gettin the knee down - NSR50R!

eichkay · 09-20-2006, 03:55 AM

I'd go the ZB50, They'll just get harder and harder to find , becuase they didn't really make many and only over a couple of years from what ive read..

tmas · 09-20-2006, 05:25 AM

ZB RAREST Honda made, street legal but gutless. the NSR is a real nice unit but not street legal.

I'm with Q

I want a perfect Christmas Edition to put in my office - I have enough 50's that get ridden.

arlindsay1992 · 09-20-2006, 03:17 PM

I'd put it in a glass case and use it as a table in my living room.

sanoman23 · 09-20-2006, 03:39 PM

thats a really good idea! even with a less rare one...

arlindsay1992 · 09-20-2006, 07:34 PM

Would make a sweet conversation piece. Just make sure it's all sealed and there are no liquids. It won't rust if you empty the tank and fill the glass case with like nitrogen or whatever that gas is that doesn't react with anything. Rust is a form of oxydation and things can't OXYdize without OXYgen.

i take it someone payed attention in science

arlindsay1992 · 09-20-2006, 08:00 PM

No. I just went to a museum with my dad when I was like 6 and asked why all the "old things" are inside glass. He told me and I told you. Science just told me the reacting stuff and what it means.

my buddy has one of these in his yard, the frame has been cracked and just needs to be welded up. What's the going rate on these chrome bikes? Also I would pick the cl70 and make it look like a cafe racer similar to fatcaat's bike. I just like the look, and the idea of having some bigger tires under me.
