Your damn right they were. The Z50 rocked! First bike I ever rode was my next door neighbor's '69 Mini-Trail. That first 5 sec ride (I crashed into his garage door) was what got me hooked for life. From that first ride I wanted one. 42 years later I finally did it. Bought a beater and restored it. I ride it at least once every week now...


Where did you get the exhaust?

I doubt the guy who helped me do the resto is still around. His name was Jan Harde and he had a garage full of NOS Honda 50 parts. I got all of my stuff from him. This site is his work, but not sure he is still running it. Check the links page and email them and tell them you are trying to get in touch with Jan aka Mr. Monkey.

They have reproduction stuff here

Thnxz for posting. I learned how to ride on my older cousins 1969 Honda 50 (original owner) in the mid 70's like the one you posted. That bike must have 1000 + hrs. & it's still ticking to this day with out a rebuild. My 1st ride was a 78 minitrail 50 that I regret ever selling. Those bikes are bullet proof & indestructible.

Yeah, the Mini Trail was my first ride and started it all, but this was my first lust so I sold the Mini Trail for a Mini Enduro...

This is my Grandson. You can see the spark igniting in his eyes... He doesn't come over with out me promising him a ride. When he is old enough he will get this one.


Not sure who has more fun on one of those rides...

My first bike was a 1970 Mini Trail.
Then i got a 1972 SL70.



After that I got a 1974 XR75.
I had the yellow SL70, 74 xr75, and the same haircut. The 70s ruled.
