@1psuviking Well sir thank you very much for your service.I tip my lid to you! I have two sons.One Navy and the other Army. Check out the vintage pedal cars I did for them here on my channel. One is a boat and the other is a Jeep. Stay well. Great hearing from you.

@SmokyPondFarm If you had a "69 model it would have had the head light and tail light missing. Head light and tail light was added in "69 and with a battery. There has never been another year where the Z50 had a battery other than "69. 1968 was the first year for the Z50 mini trail.

@7863348 I forgot to mention that ours was saphire blue also. I wish I still had it. All I have from it is one of the clear stickers from the top of gas tank. It's still stuck to the garage wall of my other home (the one I grew up in), right where I put it in 1968. BTW, I know that we bought it in September '68, but it didn't look like the '68 models I see on the 'net. It had a '69 color and winged tank emblem. Could it have been a '69 model?

@36bufbarnaby I've heard this before but as luck would have it mine as a kid didn't crack and it should have because I'd ride two up with the girls lol

@SmokyPondFarm Your right about the price. That was about the price of them up here in Canada as well. I couldn't wear mine out. Loved the little bike. I just had to find this one to restore. Glad you enjoyed seeing it. Thanks for your kind words and thanks for taking the time to comment, Ride safe!

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for bringing back the memories! My brother and I bought one new from the Honda dealer in Warren, Michigan. As I remember, the purchase price was $249 plus tax. Imagine that! Again, thank you for posting.
