I told the guy I would bid to win but the seller is not helping the sell at all im not going to buy it. He wants it picked up at his house and crated by the shipping company i would cost over 500 for that.

I have one that I am willing to sell. I would want $1500 for it.

It is a one owner bike. It has never ever been modified in any way shape or form.

It is still registered with title ( as a non opr ) and with lic. plate

I will talk about the negatives first, then the positives.

This bike was parked/stored indoors ( positive ) however it was stored with gas in the tank. I just recently took off the tank and just dumped all the old smelly gas out of it.

When the bike was purchased new, it had a ding in the tank I would say the ding itself is of dime size however the dent it left could be as large as a half or silver dollar. There is one other ding in the tank on the side and towards the bottom, very minor ding can hardly even see it

I took off the mirrors a long time ago ( I know dumb ) and have no clue where they are today... so they are gone forever

The left front blinker amber lens cover has a crack on the side ( the other 3 are perfect )

The positives...

The frame, with the use of soap and water and wax will look like brand new. I can honestly say it is totally straight and no scratches or dents what so ever. This includes the swing arm. This would be true with the front forks, both wheels, the seat, the exhaust etc. The headlight is perfect the tailight is perfect... nothing broken... still have the factory key ( I may just have the one factory key, I will have to double check on that ).

Basically this bike was stored with gas in it and needs the work done when one leaves a bike parked for years with gas in it. The tank will need to be cleaned and then creamed. The carb will need to be cleaned/rebuilt. Again it is all 100% all original, minus the mirrors. No parts have ever been replaced. The bike has never been worked or wrenched on other than removing the tank and carb last month to get the gas out of the tank and to possibly start cleaning the carb ( but haven't done that as of yet ).

This bike may not be the best deal at $1500 but I will say if you want one, you will be very surprised out how perfect it really is.

I am 35 and I see this is a rare bike but the reality is I can't picture me really ever enjoying it on the street like I did when I was younger.

I don't want to deal with shipping the bike anywhere so this would be a local sale. If you are willing to drive to the bay area and pick this bike up for $1500 it is yours.

If you are VERY serious I will get some pictures, but I took the time to describe the bike. And if you are that serious just look at it in person rather asking for pics as it is exactly how I described it.

Thanks for reading.

minibikedike

how many miles are on it and did you buy it new from a bay area dealer?Still original irc tires? thanks

bpkawirider

It has under 1,134 miles. Yes and Yes. ( It was purchased in the bay area )and the tires have never been changed so if it came with irc tires then that is what is on there now.

makotosun

Notte in the small print it has no title, just a bill of sale. Could be an issue in some states getting tags if that is a concern.

bpkawirider

I just sold my ZB50 with 1,134 miles to a very happy guy from the san jose area. Glad to see it go to a good home... I had it advertised on craigslist.

tmas

One of the reasons why he only got $710. I think he may have done better parting it out.

If you have a complete bike it shouldn't be parted out. That just lessens the number of complete bikes and makes them rarer.

tmas

This is better for us ZB owners. Our bikes will go up in value $$$$$$$$$.
tmas

arlindsay1992

But if your not selling them, why does it matter?

tmas

ST 50 for sale. knock off of the ZB.

Tmas this ZB is the one I posted pics of a little while ago. My buddy was asking $1200. I bet he gets more on ebay. He didn't mention the dents in the tank though. The buyer might be pi$$ed when they pay top dollar for it and find out it has dents.

tmas

dOn
good point
Especially when the tank is discontinued and very hard to find.

I have a ZB I will sell. Have a pretty nice one with around 2,300 miles on it and is all stock. It has a newer factory tank with no dings or scratches or rust. I would rate the bike is in a realisticly average to slightly above condition with signs of normal use. It ain't perfect and I am sure someone could pick it apart but given it's age and mileage it's in very good condition. I don't have the mirrors or the blinkers for the bike but other than that everything is there. The seat has about an inch and a half tear in it so it would need to be recovered or replaced. Oh, I do have a clear open title for the bike also. Paid $1,200. sell for $1,200. Can email pics if interested, livelysv50@comcast.net (bike is in Tennessee)
