That bike is a Honda Z50A- K2. Commonly called a 1971 model. The last year of the hard tail models. The only model that had oval tank badges. That is original candy ruby red paint. Also, this is the only model that had the hand-operated or foot-operated rear brake. You will not see the...

Most enjoyable forum thread of 2012........KKK's "Kustom Kart Shop" story. A true walk down memory lane. http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/general-minibike-talk/71062-kustom-kart-shop.html
