Feckin' neat find Woof

Found a UTube vid of one for some size perspective

I'd say yeah it'd fit as it's smaller than most of the gear
"my lot" bring on a plane !


Maybe the travelling Bears have the transport arrangements
figured out for their next international soiree

 

Can't help you too much there, to be fair Woof. Never seen one myself.

Closest I've come is back in the early 80's when I worked for the Regional Catchment Board. We used to have a Honda Z50 for us surveyors to use. It was the model with the fold-down handlebars, so we could easily chuck it in the back of a station wagon and take it in the field with us.

It was actually very bloody handy, but I seem to recall that it's main use was for impromptu, short circuit time trials during our lunch breaks

That is certainly a bit of a collectors item with such low mileage, but I couldn't imagine parting with that kind of money for a 50cc bike.

Let's see what our official collector of strange and obscure bikes has to say on the matter.

Over to you Seb.

 

I have a Z50

I'm now tending toward the non-complex. No folding bits that can break, no multi valves or fuel injection.

For the post economic fallout, I still want to be able to ride - with simplicity!

Cheers, SB

 

Up here the z50 is named "monkey". When I was a kid all the rich kids had monkeys and the others Suzuki PV:s, the debate which was better was endless

I had a PV for some time, traded it in for my Honda NS125R.

Never seen one of those "luggage bag bikes" either, would be fun to have.

 

It must have been the fore runner for the modern Honda generator. They just thought "bugger this, no one's buying them, lets just take the wheels, bars and seat off and make the damned thing do something useful, like providing power for a mobile burger van. Brilliant!
I have to agree though Mat, it does look fun and in a strange way, still quite modern.

 

a guy i used to work with had a wee bike in a suitcase, burburry check and all.
can't find it online, i'll have to call in and see if i can get the model .
it was from early 70's afaik
