That means I rebuilt my first engine two years before you were born.

Funny, I have a friend with a couple of those. He claims lots of people desire them because it's the bike they learned to ride on.

I think the Trail 70 did that too. If anyone has one they are parting with, let me know. I may be interested.

I agree and it even has the rare-for-US "Monkey Bike" emblem on the tank, but it is very far away.

NICE BILL! I haven't seen those in a long time!

I had friends that had a couple of them... I wonder if they still have them.

I was kind of sad to see how pricey they are. I was hoping to pick one up for nostalgia sake. We used to buy and sell second hand Z50s for $50 to $100.

Oh, I modded mine. I upped the engie to 70cc and put on a longer front and rear suspension so I could clear obstacles on the trails. Too funny.
