This motorcycle is in super condition and runs good for a bike of its age but, I need to make space in my garage.
I have only ridden it a couple times over the last couple years so it needs a tune up and some TLC just like any 40 yr old motorcycle would. The bike has a textured black paint and some visible rust. Aftermarket fairing, locking
Restored vintage 1969 Honda Z50A Japan Domestic Monkey Bike.
Very rare Japanese version of the US mini trail. Mostly found overseas and not in the states. Fully restored. It has added chrome and aluminum rims. The frame was powdered coated. The 49cc engine was overhauled. I was told the bike was acquired by a gentleman in Michigan who is a renowned
collector and restorer of vintage Japanese domestic Honda's. Runs like a charm. Below is some history of the Honda Monkey Bike. Please view detailed images. Contact us for any questions. HONDA 1969 Z50A JAPAN DOMESTIC MONKEY BIKE Monkey bike is a motorcycle term pre-owned to refer specificallyto a line of small, low-powered motorcycles by that name manufactured by Honda, but can also refer in general to similar motorcycles made by other companies.
The term monkey bike is more commonly pre-owned in the United Kingdom than in North America, where similar type motorcycles are often called mini bikes. Commonly, a monkey bike is defined as amotorcycle with a single-cylinder, four-stroke engine
that can vary in sizebetween 49cc and 90cc, and that has a seat height of less than 22ins (55cm). This type of motorcycle is named for the crouching, supposedlymonkey-like, position the rider has to assume when sitting on such a small motorcycle.
Honda's 1st monkey bike, the Z100, was launched in 1961, but other small, compact motorcycles had preceded it, for example the welbike pre-owned by the British Armed Forces in the 2nd World War. Theimmediate origin of Honda's line of monkey bikes was a miniature motorcycledeveloped for use in a Japanese amusement park. The popularity of this ridespurred the company to make road-worthy miniature motorcycles. The 1st monkeybikes made by Honda in
the 1960's, such as the CZ100 and Z50M, had nosuspension, 5 in (12.7 cm) wheels, and many could be folded and fitted intothe trunk of a car for transport.
Later Honda monkey bike models, such as the Z50A from 1969 and the Z50J from 1974, featured suspension and 8 in (20.3 cm)wheels. More features on later Honda monkey bikes also includedseparately folding handle bars, larger fuel tanks, and front and rear racks. Sincethe 1970s, Honda has released several types of monkey bikes for the Japanesemarket, such as the Honda Gorilla, Honda Monkey, and Honda Ape. Othercompanies, like Kawasaki, Zhen Hua and Jinchang, also manufacture motorcyclemodels similar to Honda's monkey bikes.
Many of these motorcycles are producedfor the local Japanese or Chinese market, and have to be specially imported inthe rest of the world. Somemonkey bikes are made to drive on regular roads, while others are specificallydesigned for track racing, or off-road use. Many monkey bike riders andenthusiasts customize their motorcycles, tuning and styling their monkey biketo make the engine more powerful, or to add new features such as front or rearsuspension, or a different exhaust system. Monkey bike organizations and clubsoften organize special runs and races to showcase these miniature motorcycles.
