*** Your opinion needed - 1972 Honda Mini Trail Z50 ***

[bkvette3]

Hello all - your opinion needed.

This '72 Z50 is going to be at a future auction near where I live. Would like to bid on it. Looks like it is in decent condition. From what I can see - handlebar bent (easy fix), rear license plate bracket (bent) and a dent in the headlight bucket, bent brake lever, brightwork looks good. The ad indicates it is a one owner and was kept in a shed. Does anyone know what something like this would be worth?? Parts easy to find?? Would be cool to add to the fleet.

Thanks in advance for your opinion/advice.

Looks like a great bike. Would love to own it as well.
Around here it would go for well over a grand.

Very nice looking survivor, it's not a '72 model but a '71 Z50AK2 model. Believe this was the last year that a person could register them for legal street riding in the USA. I agree with Joseph on pricing and most of the parts are still available.

There's a blue one that looks to be in a little better shape than the one you're looking at for sale at a Kawi dealer near me. I think it's a 1970. They are asking for $30,000 Pesos, or about $1,800 USD.

That is a very nice survivor. I hope it survives the wet spot. It would likely bring 1-2k here.
