We Bought 8 CHEAP ABANDONED Honda Mini Bikes... Can We Make Them Run & Ride?

[@hurbshankin1]

These Z-50's remind me of summer camp. Mini bike riding was an option that I did every summer for about 5 yrs. We also rode Trail 70's as we progressed. My last summer there I got chosen to go on a mini bike overnight camping trip. We rode out into the woods, raised hell on the trails and overall had a blast! Great memories from Camp Bernie!

Man... I got a bike just like that red '83 for christmas in 95? 96? Mine had a black seat though. I was 5 or 6 years old, I can't remember. But, I do remember seeing that beside the tree that morning with that beautiful red paint shining and it being one of the happiest moments in my life. The excitement of wanting to ride it but having to open everything else first and let my mom and dad put me in warm clothes lol. Brings back so many memories. I had a white one just like that '99 on the video too. Awesome video guys. Loved it.

You guys are great. As an old motorcyclist I can tell you points were replaced with electronic ignition on Japanese motorcycles after 1977. I once had a 1977 Yamaha XS750 triple which had points. All models after that had electronic ignition, so I'm confident points disappeared on motorcycles of all sizes not long after. ECM's were cheap even then, a silicon controlled rectifier.

" Atf or diesel in the cylinders. That'll get her free.."... Soaked in diesel for 72 hours and it freed pretty easy. The rings loosened up, it smoked beautifully even after an oil change.

[@gusfeauto4543]

A good trick if you have rusty valves and would like to try to revive it is to put a leak down detector on it roll the engine to bdc with both valves closed and use a dead blow hammer to rap on the top of the valves. Jaring the valves knocks the rust off and the air being forced into the cylinder pushes the loose rust out of the engine. As a vintage bike mechanic I have used and had great luck with this method several times.

[@DecibelAlex]

a bit of history.. I've read somewhere the honda monkey was made for mine workers for transport between the barracks and the mines, since the 4 stroke runs so quiet and bike is so small, it was an ideal form of tranport also in the mines. Air pilots also had a 125cc engine monkey which could quickly take them to the airfield when necessary. (btw you can get brand new 125cc engines from china and they are cheap as dirt 😉😉)

They did qualify the Z-50 in the video as Honda's smallest "street legal" trail bike, but in the description above, they write, that it's Honda's smallest trail bike. The Z-50 was not Honda's smallest trail bike. That would be the QA-50, which was a 2 speed and had no headlight or taillight, so It wasn't street legal kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWfUc3adrpqWmtk . It had a different engine and frame, than the Z-50, although it was still a 50cc 4 stroke. I believe; they made it in the early to mid-1970's. ...I had one as a 48 pound runt 9 year old in 1973! I was too short to reach the ground with my feet on the Z-50, so Dad bought me a QA-50. I was an unruly child, but the belt and hickory switch didn't work on me, so Dad made a deal with me, that if I behaved for a year and didn't get kicked out of school and work during the Summer & after school, he'd buy me a mini-bike. I kept my end of the deal and so did Dad.

Shit I got a 50cc Honda for like my 5th birthday. It gave me a permanent scar from the exhaust burning my leg but I still had fun. I want to get another bike but I can’t fit on a 50cc. So 250 it is!

@@FishFind3000 I could have written that. I have the same scar on my right calf just under the knee. I was too little to lift it off of me. 1972 Mini-trail, gold because chicks like it.

I bought a very clean 1976 model Z50 last year. I've got an 88cc kit with a bigger carb to put on it, can't wait to get it all up and running and road registered.

John's has a better seat, cool wheels, and the goofy, old style handlebars. Since you have so many, maybe you could build a mini 50 chopper!

"110 dollars a piece" and "a good price" in the same sentence lol

[@Stoney3K]

These will sell for upwards of $1000 in good condition, and for *thousands* in showroom-like-new condition if they're an older vintage.

[@briang4470]

@@Stoney3K but these bikes will take alot of time,parts, and money to make them in "good" condition especially if you use genuine honda parts and not Chinese junk parts.

[@dwightschrute3862]

Brian G but they are worth $8000 if you get them in “good” condition

[@guylynn8640]

You guys have too much fun! Spoken as an older guy who would love to do that stuff still.

[@hurritgg7995]

In Finland do we have tons of these, many are still running.

It’s perfect! Drives by with a Molotov cocktail in hand...😂

Bike: Has mossy seat Me: That thing ain’t running any time soon

I would love to see a video on how to go about purchasing a vintage mini-bike. I would also like to know how to get in touch with Tired Iron Classics and possibly make a purchase if they have any Honda Z 50's available. Thanks, keep the content coming!
