Honda Z50 Chopper Revival | Found Buried in a Storage Unit

The Honda Z50R is one of our favorite mini bikes! Honda made millions of these things, from the 1960s as hard tails, until 1999 when they were eventually replaced by the CRF50 dirt bike. Today’s Honda mini bike is an older restoration where a previous owner made it look like a chopper! The white wall tires and handlebars are an interesting look that’s somewhat polarizing.

[@darkcatgaming4940]

Hey just got a 1972 Honda motorcycle for free, everything is on it almost not the plastic cover though I think all it needs is a battery and tires and a good cleaning if you have any tips or helpful info let me know because I'm new with motorcycles. But I've been watching a lot of y'all's videos they help out a lot.

[@bretwill9417]

Man I miss the 2 a week videos!

[@scottdavis9442]

[@richb313]

[@panfriedmarmot]

I HAVE A '79 Z50R!!! It was my first motorcycle (at 34 lol) and I rustored it myself. Taught myself to do a top end and now I can putter it around my yard and the neighborhood.

[@NubsWithGuns]

I'm going to be 50 in a few weeks and got my first bike a month ago. Axis M200 same as a ct200u-ex but buy the coleman not this pos. I've replaced almost everything but the wheels and seat so far.

[@Ratkill9000]

A Monday video? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

[@puff427]

Memories right there..I had same 50 when I was 8..wow..good ol days..b safe.peace

[@jackmiller4946]

When I was about seven my dad bought me some kind of Honda 50. It was yellow and had a three speed automatic transmission and the damn gas tank popped off when I crashed, some kind of safety feature. That was early seventies.

[@carlowens3424]

OMG A MONDAY DROP!!!!!!

[@Dan-gi7yz]

When my boys were young. Had them 2 70 atc 3 wheelers . They bucked off dang near every adult that tried to ride them ) Very fun little vehicles .

[@UNCLEBGA]

I lost some skin on one of those 40 years ago. Took 162 stitches to sew me back up. I was back on it the next day. I was looking behind me at my brother on his Yamaha MX 80 while I was come through a gate and drifted up along side the barbed wire fence. I still ride bikes quads and snowmobiles and I still ride hard. I also have big respect for my toys. It's easy to have a lapse in judgment when riding or get too excited in the moment. Even when paying attention. Gee I miss that Z50. Locked up the motor and bent the front fork in the end. RIP ! Maybe one day you can Find an MX80 to revive. That would be cool.

[@broncodude6299]

@10:20, 👍. Good on you with the safety glasses. @18:18, you created a monster 😆 Great video. Love the collaboration with JYD. 👏

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

I miss the 80 model z50r that I grew up riding... what a ride

[@theoldfartschannel3692]

Those are a whole lot of fun when they're running right.

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

What a great surprise for this Old Man from Washington NC. A Monday video watching with my coffee ❤️. Always enjoying your videos 👍. 🛵🧔💝💝💝

[@richieriggins3978]

Happy to see a Monday video again

[@thebeardedguyjefflawless5887]

I had a Honda 50 when I was 6 or 7. Think it was a 1969 or 70, had a blast and that's where the love of motorcycles came from.

[@thegreenman2030]

My neighbor and I just got a 1970 running for my son this past weekend. Runs pretty good and the boy is doing laps around the yard for hours.

[@jonathanjames1864]

I just stuffed an 86 Z50 in the back of a Honda Fit to deliver to my brother to work on. It's not running, but my brother worked on many in the 70s. Cool stuff.

[@paulgracia2626]

I had a 1976 mini trial 50 in red just like this 50. Still have it too. The rear break and front forks look exactly the same lol. Love that little bike

[@joshuaorourke3290]

Wow!!!. So pleased guys. Thank you so much!

[@TheTannerChanner]

Man this hits me in the feels. My first off road machine was a 1965 Honda z50

[@joebufford2972]

I love those little Hondas, in first grade I got a mini bike. My mom got a mini trail 70. I ended up riding her mini trail 70 but I had to land in place where I could put my foot down cuz I was too short to reach the ground. It was lovely❤ by the way, I was nine at the time😮

[@dub_vibes_274]

Kevin's chroch grab at 12:24 lol🤣🤣

[@jamesbigham9036]

This was a fun collab with Kevin u guys are a lot of fun to watch. Keep up the great work

[@danielsale3805]

Imagine a little kid being gifted this. It would be the holy grail.

[@marksmithson1414]

I just love how John says we got it running and Isaac and Kevin did all the work!! LOL

[@TheBiggBert]

Iv been watching re-runs on Monday this is a awesome update

[@waynerowlinson6177]

I love little gas engines, so obviously love the Z50. Would love to see the finished product and the handover to the niece and nephew 10 year old me is jealous.

[@matthewherard3297]

That is one of my absolutely all-time favorite bikes I have wanted one ever since I was a little kid my cousin had a Honda the white red one absolutely awesome guys absolutely awesome 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯

[@budddove6480]

Putting that sticker over those questionable graphics on a child's bike, made me like these guys even more. Shows they really do care about the fact that kids are their audience and there's no reason for that on a child's toy. Im always comfortable with my kids watching C&C alone. Thanks guys

[@docholiday6944]

Thanks for the extra vid!!! 👍👍👊👊🤙🤙

[@user-fe5uh5sw4r]

I have been watching you guys from the beginning yall are awesome and keep up the great content

Whoever's niece and nephew that gets that pit bike is going to have a blast on it.

[@marktimmons6149]

You guys and Kevin can get anything running great video guys.

[@bashr52]

[@chuckfowler8875]

Hey that Z50 was my first bike it was a 1980 and still have it today both my boys leaned to ride on it too.

[@norcal8718]

Love this stuff 👍🏻

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Before you guys leave JYD's place,how about a set of coil-over shock,or even a set of Air,to help the wagon on your way home??

[@motorhead1884]

I have a z50 clone I put a 125cc 4 speed with a clutch on. It's a little monster. Big bike fun in a tiny bike package

[@cedhome7945]

Those bikes are making $2500+ in the UK for some bizzare reason .great video guys👍

[@lookingup3752]

The National Lampoon Wagon is the coolest shirt

[@NubsWithGuns]

Monday Bike Night as I'm finishing mounting my new 30 series. Going to take a break for some food and watch.

[@broo_shs]

in those 3 gears half automatic systems when you push gear to first and keep foot down its in neutral, and when you releas foot its go in gear, you can do it in every gear and i used that " neutral " when i was in lights or wanted to roll down in to hill,

[@jasonpetrich4141]

This was like the movie hotrod !! So funny 😂

[@anthonygriffen3746]

[@jasonjgr8580]

I don't know if I said it before but it's cool when you guys work with Kevin.

[@johnmorgan1629]

Back to old school Monday upload.

[@ryanfester2824]

3 minutes in and I really like the aesthetic of this one.

[@CncObsession]

We had a 69 or 70 Honda mini trail 50. It had suspension, both ends. albeit not that good. Thing ran forever, I am 62 and it ran for sure til I was 40ish and it was sold.

[@MiniBikeMike]

If it had rear suspension, the oldest it could be is a Z50K3, which was released in 1972.

[@janoskoscott222]

Thank you for covering that up! 👍

[@darploin5071]

Well this is the first time in a long time since you had a Monday video assuming I don't have a two day Gap gap in my memory

[@leifhietala8074]

I was about to say: Hey, that gravel lot and fence looks exactly like Kevin's lot...and whatintheheck are Ike and John doing around snowmokay I see! We're crossing the streams.

[@Smallenginetech56]

That sounds like a headgasket. I work for a chinese powersports shop with the similar honda clone engines makes the same noise when its got a blown gasket

[@nathanhoagland9529]

Holy cow on a Monday this is like old times

[@darrellkelly7614]

[@Joshers2077]

But it Monday was not expected a miracle today

[@mrutherford8590]

Reminds me of my first mini bike a new 1972 Honda QA50. We rode the crap out of it for three years.

[@TreySlayPlay23]

Just imagine how surprised I was that. You released a video on a Monday.

[@presleyfleckmotorizedbikef4285]

That is the coolest oldest 50cc bike I've ever seen I love it thank you for the video in the content gentleman and I hope you guys are all doing well

[@WolfMann1]

the moment i saw the title said storage unit, i knew it included Kevin aka Junkyard Digs xD

[@cunderthunt]

We had a 1980 from new until 2015 and it didn’t need anything but normal maintenance! Fucker was a tank! Still regret selling it to this day…

[@P8FPV]

Same age as me 44 love it..well I don't love my age but this is going to be cool

[@shk2564]

I thought I was losing my mind and it was Wednesday! 😂

[@mikep60]

Glad u guys covered those stickers

[@robinbrowne5419]

Cool little bike. Are you guys trying to do American Chopper with minibikes :-) The Z50A was the first real mini motorcycle with its relatively big wheels, knobbies, decent brakes, and proper 3-speed transmission. When I was a kid we all had minibikes with 3.5HP Tecumseh engines and centrifugal clutches. My friend with his Z50A was always waiting at the top of the long steep hill up from the creek, saying What took you guys so long? We had to push our bikes most of the way up, or do a lot of foot-paddling. Lol. Cheers from Canada :-)

[@joshbanuelos6441]

I would love you see you guys use nibbi carbs an let us know your opinion, I recently used some on my bike an love them

[@mikemaness20204]

What a pleasant surprise 🎉

[@s.m.aggies7220]

Great old toy plenty out there needing your help let go for a cruising

[@donaldcope4982]

Always Great.....17:02 The (lead-Sled) Oldsmobile in the back-round has my curiosity! But 130...I'm on board

[@scorpioDAVE9]

You guys Need a sticker that says "don't worry it'll buff out" I'd buy a few if you guys had that in your sticker collection.😂

[@darylSKYTZOwillis]

That looks like one of those those mini bikes at the carnival that goes around and around.

[@richieriggins3978]

Awesome, little bike

[@onlytruk1ngs]

I definitely learned something today, and I hope I never have to use that knowledge in the future.

[@darellsimons2687]

Love you yall ❤

[@40calpunisher]

That cracking and popping might be a loose ground under the seat.. mine acted like yours until I tightened that ground.

[@MrGixxer1300r]

NIce job on the Z50, those are such cool little bikes that carry a adult as good as they carry a kid. I think you made the owner real happy from the looks on his face. Priceless my friends.

[@tristanmcnabb2741]

She's a classic lol 😂👍

[@mikehoncho7354]

Once I saw the driveway I was like that's Kevin's shop fk yeah!!

[@1980bwc]

Nothing says "been well loved", quite like a devil's head and three 6's. 😂 @1:00

[@brooksmcpherson3989]

Glad Kevin covered it up, I almost stopped watching when I first saw it.

[@joshschulz1094]

How long have I been asleep? it’s Wednesday already!
