1998 HONDA Z50J 'MONKEY BIKE'

KEY FACTS

  • A tastefully modified example of the fun Z-series ‘minibike’.
  • Power comes courtesy of a 49cc single-stroke engine which has been upgraded and bored out to 90cc, coupled to a four-speed transmission.
  • Despite the minimal use, the bike has been serviced annually by the vendor, who has owned it for the last 14 years.
  • HPI indicates that the bike was built in 1998; imported to the UK and re-registered in 2000.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

  • This Z50J has been significantly upgraded with a front brake disc conversion, oil cooler, upgraded clutch and clutch springs, 90cc bore kit, upgraded cylinder bore and valve head, a race camshaft, high-flow oil pump, Yoshimura exhaust system and gas-assisted rear shock absorbers.
  • Included with the vehicle are two MOT certificates, along with an original Honda owner’s manual.

CONDITION

  • There is no known damage to the frame or body.
  • The engine casings, headlight bracket and handlebars are beginning to oxidise and show signs of pitting.
  • The paintwork and polished fuel tank are in excellent condition with a mirror-like finish and only minor marks.
  • The vinyl seat is in great shape, with no damage or noticeable wear.
  • There are no known faults.
  • The most recent MOT test was in 2008 at 1,785 km, and the vehicle is currently SORN, so will require a fresh MOT before taking to the road again.

SERVICE HISTORY

  • During the vendor’s ownership, the bike has always been serviced by himself and his father, with annual oil changes despite no increase in mileage. It has covered only 30km in the last 12 years.
  • In addition to servicing, this Z50J has also regularly been fitted with new spark plugs and had valve clearance checks carried out.

SUMMARY

Comprehensively upgraded and regularly maintained, this 1998 Honda Z50J is a wonderful example of the eye-catching ‘Monkey Bike’, and would make a great addition to any collection of rare or unusual motorcycles.
