Has air cleaner, heel and toe shifter, good fenders, fold down handle bars that work and look straight and the fold down seat works. It has a torn seat and was running when stored in a barn years ago. It does have Iowa paperwork and is located in southwest Iowa and that's where it will need to be picked up. It became one of Honda's first ever mini bikes. It was first released in 1967 to the European, Japanese and Canadian markets. This type of Honda Z50 M mini trail has the red frame with white fenders. The picture shown is NOT the actual bike but a photo of one that was restored to original condition. I am helping a friend sell this rare 1968 Honda Z50 M motorcycle. There are some transporters I have used in the past, that will give you a shipping quote. There is no title! Bike will be sold with "Bill of Sale" only. Please check the pics carefully to see the condition as I may not have listed every defect. Some of the defects are a crack and hole in the sprocket cover, a slight bend in left handlebar, minor bends in rear fender, tires are useable but show substantial wear, minor pitting and rusting on various components. This bike does have a complete original air cleaner assembly, original kill switch and light switch that work, and the tools are still mounted behind the side cover. I may have forgotten some other incidentals that were replaced. New OEM air filter element installed.New gas cap, fuel valve, and fuel line installed. The front fender replaced with a new OEM fender. The headlight and tail light assemblies were also replaced. Front triple tree was repainted with as close a color as I could find to the Candy Ruby Red. The front fork tubes were replaced with new aftermarket tubes, along with gators, springs, trim rings, etc. What did I do to it? To make this bike into a rider, I had to replace the fuel tank with a new aftermarket tank, the decals, side cover, and side cover decal were also replaced. So I imagine the engine was swapped out at some point with a newer one. The serial number on the engine appears to be in the range for a 1977 Honda Z50. Dealers are supposed to apply serial numbers of the damaged frame, but often times do not. The serial number wasn't removed, it was never there. Normally, I would just identify the year by the serial number, but the frame does not have a serial number on it. Most all of the other accessories also translated to a 1975. I have it listed as a 1975 because when I got it, the original tank was ruby red with the 1975 decals. So I put it through the shop to make a nice rider out of it. It was in need of a lot of TLC when I got it.
