Honda Other description

Up for your consideration is a 1969 K1 Candy Ruby Red MiniTrail Z50A in excellent unrestored original condition.

Frame: Z50A-151647

Engine: Z50AE-151275

This is an Arizona bike that has been in storage a long time. I found it here in Tucson, AZ. I put oil and gas in it and it fired right up. It runs great, shifts great, does not smoke or leak. It’s a very nice Z50. This is my favorite year for the Z50. The 1969 K1 Z50 is the second model iteration and has the small fender in the rear, lights and a battery, no right side foot brake lever and is still the classic “hard-tail.” They have the cleanest lines and are super cute.

This is about as nice as you can expect to find in unrestored condition for a Z50. This is everything I look for in a minitrail. It’s a silver tag bike which is neat. The big number 8’s on the fasteners, the correct and original split-seam seat, Nitto Tires, straight handlebars, original ignition key, correct tail light lens, and everything in place and working. The battery is currently out and will be included with the sale. It was removed for storage and I have not re-installed it.

The appearance is excellent for an unrestored minitrail. It has zero corrosion on the chrome. There is no pitting anywhere on the bike. It has very light surface hazing on the aluminum on the engine but I would consider all the metal surfaces in excellent condition for an original bike. This is proof it has been in a dry climate. I don’t usually see CT’s or Z50’s this clean.

I know shipping is a concern for many people. I have a motorcycle shipper that I can put you in contact with. He has coordinated shipping for me a number of times at reasonable prices. Some patience on timing is required depending on where you live. The bikes are shipped complete with a motorcycle transporter and arrive COD.

Please reply with any questions and I will contact you as soon as possible.

Thanks for your interest!

Proof: Change chain, gain power

Wed, 22 Jun 2011

Point six of a BHP may not sound like much but, in my book, any gain is a good gain, especially when it’s as simple as changing a chain and sprockets. After all, you're going to have to do it sooner or later when your old chain and sprockets die their death. I’ve always been interested in what gains are available in the drive train.

Moto2 needs more radical bikes

Wed, 05 Sep 2012

Makers of fine exhausts, Taylormade Racing have built a Moto2 racer that harks back to the innovative machines like the Elf Honda 500 and Britten V1000. Since Moto2's inception in 2010 the class has featured bikes with conventional chassis but the Taylormade bike, designed by Paul Taylor and John Keogh, has a radical design featuring a carbon-fibre monocoque frame, carbon-fibre swingarm, wishbone monoshock front suspension and an under-seat radiator. However, with such radical engineering the inherent problem is that it is a risk for teams to invest in such a project.

2012 GSX-R1000 arrives at Visordown HQ

Wed, 23 May 2012

You've probably seen the video of Simon Crafar smoking up the 2012 GSX-R1000 at Almeria. Impressive stuff. Suzuki are (correct me if I'm wrong) the last manufacturer of an inline four superbike not to offer it with some sort of electronic rider aids.
