Hello. I am brand new to this forum.

I have a near new ZB50 that I have had in storage since 1994. It has a total of about 600 miles on it.

The story is kinda fun. I knew a guy in college that had won this thing on a radio game show. He had never really used it. In 1994, following the nasty Northridge Earthquake, I needed a way to get to school from about two miles away. The new parking structure had collapsed and we were attending school in construction site like temporary bungallows.

I bough the bike for $300 and used it for a few months to get to school until I graduated.

It has been sitting in my garage since then. I am now married with 3 children and I do not want my kids to get old enough to want to ride it.

I took the bike in to the local bike shop for a complete and professional tune. I'm sure the carb is gummed up and the petcock is leaky, but it will be restored to near new condition.

The bike has no dings, but has it's share of scratches and is missing the small "cap" on the side of the exhaust pipe.

How much is the bike worth? It is 100% original down to the tires, etc...

The bike is located in Woodland Hills, CA

I will post pictures as soon as I get it back from the shop.

Post up pictures and I'll give you a ballpark value. It's going to completely depend on condition. some parts are long gone, so if those parts are scratched and damaged, it greatly reduces value.

Post detailed pictures.

You can get a lot of money for them in an auction style situation, throw it up on e-bay with a ridiculous reserve if u really want to get some feelers out.

I am also a married guy with kids that had a ZB50 when I was younger. I am interested in buying one to recapture my youth? What do you want to sell it for? How much do you think shipping to MI would be?
