1972 HONDA Z50, MINI TRAIL!!!! RARE COLLECTORS ITEM!!!! RUNS AND DRIVES WELL. There is no title, I don't believe these came with one. I will provide a bill of sale to the winning bidder. The bike starts fine and drives fine too. It could probably use a carb cleaning and adjustment. The front fender is missing but these are available on Ebay, the seat has one small hole about 1/2" long on the right rear side, the tail light works and the head light does not-probably just needs a new bulb. The brakes work fine, there seems to be something loose in the front forks. I bought this bike about 2 years ago with the intention of restoring it one day. I just lost my job of 12 years and am starting my own business so I need all the money I can get right now. When I got the bike I filled it with fuel and stabilizer and rode it about 3-4 times. There is a dent in the left side of the gas tank, I'm sure it could be repaired like new as decals are available on Ebay. There is no rust inside the gas tank. Ride as is or restore like new!! Don't miss out on this great little classic!! Local pick-up only!! However I may be willing to meet you part way or deliver it as long as you contact me about the details BEFORE bidding and pay for my gas. **** I WILL NOT END THE AUCTION EARLY OR TELL YOU THE RESERVE PRICE SO PLEASE DON'T ASK!!!! However I will say that it is a fair price for this little gem so bid with confidence!!! I may be willing to ship it if you arrange the shipping and pay me $60 for crating the bike and delivering it to the freight company.
