1999 Honda Z50R – Fully Rebuilt $995 – Supermoto Z50 Monkey Bike

I purchased this bike this past Fall with the intention of rebuilding it and having my Son ride it.   He is pretty scared of it and now wants a four wheeler.   I am interested in local trades as well for a 70-90CC name-brand ATV in good condition.   Sorry but no Chinese knock-offs…….

When I got it. I don’t think it had ever really been cleaned. but I bought it because the motor fired up on the first kick. did not smoke. and went through all of the gears as it should……. so I knew it was sound in the most important area.

I disassembled it down to the frame and components. but left the motor sealed.   I cleaned and painted most parts. checked and replaced any worn bushings/bearings. stripped screws. bad cables. worn brake pads. cracked body work. leaking fuel lines. poor wiring. and anything else I could think to look for.    

This was never intended to be a full-on showroom condition restoration. and the tank paintjob & black vinyl stickering & some other parts are not perfect.   Please do not purchase the bike expecting and that every single nut/bolt will be shining and new.  

HOWEVER. this bike starts are the very first kick. is 110% mechanically sound and safe for a young rider. it has a brand new OEM Honda carb that is tuned perfectly. adults can ride this thing around too. the engine does not burn oil or blow smoke. and the transmission shifts exactly as a new one would.  This bike looks cooler than just about any bike on eBay. Cycletrader. or Craigslist………. and is cleaner than 95% of them!  This bike needs absolutely nothing done to it unless you want the body work or motor to look like new.

Z50’s are a bit of a collector’s item at this point. and it’s harder and harder to find one that has had the love put into it that this one has.   These make great family investments for kids and make great talking points as pit bikes!  They last for years compared to many of the new XR/CRF’s.

Bill of Sale provided.   These bikes do not come with vehicle titles from the manufacture.   VIN shows clear when run through the DMV website.

There are  some pictures below. but there are TONS of pictures here that I took of the entire process:
