THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION, STARTING AT A VERY FAIR PRICE!!! Just in time for the holidays, this auction is for a REALLY sweet 1969 Honda Z50A Mini Trail, VIN 152350. This is not a perfect museum piece, but HAS been painstakingly restored with lots of TLC. (The white spots you see on the blue are sunlight reflection, the color is solid candy metallic blue) To start with, the engine has been totally rebuilt (bored first over, new piston and rings, valve job, automatic clutch totally gone through and adjusted, new points, engine cases and head are beadblasted, all new seals and gaskets are installed, etc) by a factory trained Honda mechanic with over 40 years of experience. You will actually have to BREAK THIS ENGINE IN (I’ve put about 10 minutes on the bike since rebuild)! The following have been replaced with either NOS or reproduction parts: steering bearings, seat cover, front and rear brake cables, front and rear tires and tubes, ignition switch (with 2 keys), fork gaiters, Hi/Lo headlight switch, headlight bulb, taillight lens and bulb, battery and strap, gas cap gasket, spark plug, drive chain and of course, fresh oil. The following HARD TO FIND original parts are still on this bike: air cleaner (with new foam), complete headlight and taillight assemblies, chainguard, exhaust heat shield, battery box and rectifier, gas tank and headlight badges, and factory muffler assembly with “stinger”. Mechanically, brakes work very well, automatic clutch is excellent, gearbox shifts great all through three gears, all lights work (except rear brake cable doesn’t seem to activate brake light). Handlebar knobs work fine and handlebars actually fold down! This little critter will pop first gear wheelies easily if you want to. Cosmetically, there is some minor wear and tear, as to be expected – call it PATINA. Since there is no speedometer the mileage is unknown. Fenders have some crinkles, and some barely noticeable slight acid staining on the rear fender from a previous owner not having the vent tube installed (the new battery has one!) The bike HAS been repainted, as close to factory colors as available. The gas tank is all original, very solid, clean and rust free inside, and was sealed for extra measure. Engine is oil tight and drip free. This bike is all complete, here is a chance for you to OWN HISTORY! This bike deserves a great home to a young child hankering for his first bike, an old kid wanting to relive his youth, or someone wanting a REALLY cool pit bike. We try to accurately describe the shortcomings, but look at the photos and ask questions before bidding. Don’t bid if you intend to negotiate afterward; that is not how eBay works.
