Someone needs to take their mouth off the exhaust pipe! $5,000 for a 50cc! Maybe someone with a head injury would buy it.

I've Never seen a gold monkey : ).. But I HAVE turned down more than $6000 for my Z. And it is a $400 less machine than that one. My grips weren't Honda @ that time,and mine has a FEW more miles on it. Too each their own ! I wouldn't give you a F %^&*N CENT for a TRAIN load of cigarettes and booze,,and IF I did?? I would BURN IT... See what I mean?? Too each their own : ) Turbo,,we ALL earn money,,it's what we do with it. I'm not rich,,I choose to invest in things that I like. Some pay off,and some do NOT!! lol

LMAO !! Thanx Ben,,I thought you meant some random thrift store had a literal golden monkey!! And you were just jerking my chain!!! I NEVER heard of one. I am no 2 wheel expert.. My Z fell very luckily into my hands while my shop was booming.. I had never heard of one then either. I was talking to a wheeler dealer in NY Tuesday that will pay up to $12000[ Supposedly} for a nice one. And this one in Jersey I would say is very nice. However,,you guys may be right here,as there was one on Ebay for $2500,,it wasn't this condition,,but not bad either.. Who knows! Very neat Ben! Thanx for showing me that!

I figured you thought I was messing with you, Thats why I put the link up. I'm not sure what year the one at my local shop is but I think they were made again in 96. It's in near mint shape,I can say that. along with their us 90's and their atc 70's. and some street/race bikes

The one you linked to appears to be 99.9% for sure a China garbage 50, I have a new one,it's called a sparky . It says /hongda on the side cover!. The limited edition stuff does appear to be Honda though?? I still say they are new China copies. Thanx though!

Really neat! Where is this place? Again Ben <I apologize! I thought you were jabbing me at first. That Austaralia site is nuts! I had a green QA 50 just like his,sold it for $200 a decade ago. I think it was set ,,I can't even remember. ALL of those awesome lil bikes,,and not ONE Christmas Special? I LOVE that ZA dirt dragger,,that's my favorite.

The dragger is cool. how about the police bike? haha they may be able to catch a bicycle lol. The shop with all the display bikes is in springville ny corner of rt 240& rt39 I stop in sometimes just to look at their bikes. They have information plaques for all the machines in their also,telling their history and a couple fact's about the machines. Next time I am out there I will snap pics and put them in their own thread so they will be seen.
