In the 1960's a Japanese Amusement Park owner called 'Tama Tech' had Honda produce 50cc motocross bikes for children to use, Honda soon realised the enjoyment people got from the bikes and decided to go all out and offer their own series to the general public.

The Z-100 was the first road legal version which then went on to become the Z50 which was released in 1967.

This French registered bike was recently brought to the country and has a nice patina, with what appears to be mostly original paint.

The bike has been retrofitted with a double seat.

We have not heard the bike running, and the fuel tank is empty.
