Honda Z50

[Minirider82]

Any one else a honda Z50 nut!? This is my 82 she's hopped up pretty good with more mods in store.

[Minirider82]

Here's the other ones these are stock and are my sons 89 Z50 and my wifes ATC 70

[roksloski]

Yep.. those are a blast.....!!!!!!
nice lookin and in good shape.....
I remember when they came out, worked at a dealership .......

But one of my favorites, is the MR 50 2 stroke...

[Minirider82]

Thank you! I like to work on the looks as we'll as performance, we'll I try anyway lol. Yea the mr is rare I still wanna ride one have only ever been around the Yamaha PW 50 and 80 as far as those go.

[roksloski]

The MR50 was a blast to ride with the 3 speed automatic....

[Minirider82]

Oh man really I figured they were single speed now your making me wanna ride one those prolly screamed! (For what they were) lol. My 82 will out run a stock 3 speed drz110 and give a drz125 a run for its money it's geared a little on the higher side.

Very nice collection! My first bike was a 1975 Z50, that was in '81. I'll be 40 in a couple of weeks, and still have a 50, bit not a Z. This is my '02XR 50 with a ton of mods, mainly TB 88cc big bore, 20mm carb, adult suspension, and pretty much one of everything Ryan at 50 stunt makes.

[Minirider82]

Oh that's awesome! I love the newer ones too just haven't ended up with one yet haha. My 82 has the older trail bikes 88 bore kit with race head cam and carb with a minigunz pipe. 108 stroker 4 speed will be in the future but rc scaling has come into the picture I'm sure you know how it is lol.

Here's my clone 1988 Honda ZB50 / Monkey R full custom

[Minirider82]

Yeeeeeessssss! I love ZB'S! I'm going to put that exact 140 piranha engine in the ATC 70 of my wife's. hows that engine quality and performance wise? so what's clone? Is the frame a honda?

[1tonscout]

It's a 2011 PitsterPro Mini monster 125 frame tank and chassis, Which is a clone of the 1988 Honda ZB50.

The Engine is a Piranha 150 E-start with a TrailBikes V2 roller rocker head.

I've added front & rear disc brakes, Inverted forks, Works Performance rear shock, Gcraft swingarm, Gcraft Rearsets, 12" Galespeed copy wheels, Hand made exhaust, ShiftUp disc Rotors, and a few other preformance goodies.

The engine pulls HARD! Like pulling the front wheel up leaning over the front of the bike in 1st-3rd gear

I have done some other mods since I've taken these pics and I still have a couple upgrades I plan on doing.

[Minirider82]

Right on that thing is awesome!!!

[1tonscout]

[Minirider82]

Don't own one but I love the things. At 6'4" I look like a circus bear an a tricycle when I ride one and can't stop smiling the whole time. Can't even look at the things without circus music playing in my head.

Not a Z, but my little QA50

Yea I'm 5' 9" but I know what you mean and I love them also. I don't know any adults that ride them around here and everyone says aren't you a little big for that and I say nope that's why the suspension and engine is all modded plus I've had this since I was 4! (20) years now haha.

QA's kick ass also! I love any minibike! It looks just as fun!

I hear that a lot from people as well. When they find out how much I have invested their reply is usually "you could have bought a nice full size bike"

[hpiguy]

Thanks! And I LOVE that ZB!

Pssssh, 6'2" and 195lbs here. Love my 50s!

This is my previous build, that has since been sold. It's a Brand X (same as SDG) chassis with GPX 124cc mill in stock trim. And I added the following;

TB 146cc big bore
TB 411 cam
26mm carb
Pro Circuit pipe
lightened oil slinger
HD valve springs

Along with other bits and pieces.

In dirt trim on a private track



Supermoto trim

[Minirider82]
