Planet Minis

Flxrdad · 10-02-2008, 07:06 PM

Hi,
I was looking for a small auto clutch mini for kids, when I came across this ZB. The price was right so I bought it. I didn't know anything about them though. Anyway we got it running and put a new battery in it and re-installed some extra parts I got with it.

Here's the thing: due to the rarity of this bike, I'm not inclined to let a bunch of youngsters run around on it and bring it's condition down anymore than it is. Further, I don't have the time or resources to do it justice either. So I'd like to trade even up for somthing more appropriate for my immediate needs.

I'm interested in fairly late model, decent, near stock condition:

xr/crf70
drz/klx110
maybe ttr125 -small wheel

I'm located in NW Florida about halfway between Pensacola and Panama City. I'm willing to travel to make a swap. I also have plans to be in the Birmingham, Al area one weekend in the near future.

About the bike:
decassell/honda zb50 - Page 1 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I'm not very familiar with these but I'll do my best:

No title
No headlight - have 1 turn signal
No taillight lens - have gasket
No heatshield? on muffler
No airbox top or filter
Tear in seat
No gas cap
Speedo works! Odo shows about 4000 mi
Runs good - no smoke/starts well
Good tires
Tank has some rust but doesn't seem too bad - no leaks
Broken turn signal tab on rack - have broken piece though/still on signal stalk
Small dings in tank

I'm pursuing a trade because I hope to get more bang for the buck this way. Hoping that someone has a nice bike they're not getting much use out of. Beyond that, I feel I'd get more out of it by parting it out. But while I'm disinclined to do that, if forced to sell I'd be after as much as I could get for it in one piece or many.

Open to offers.

Thanks,

David

wow, too bad you're in the east coast. I have a CRF50 to trade too!

Please don't part it out.

I'll buy it from you for enough to pick up a decent stock CRF.

Sent you a PM

Replied to you.

It seems the easiest way to ship is to break the bike down - remove the wheels, remove the motor, and then put it into 3 seperate boxes.

Did you buy this off the Pensacola craigslist?

mikev · 10-06-2008, 10:59 AM

Waiting on more pictures before making an offer on this.

Farrell639 · 10-06-2008, 12:47 PM

Are you interested in crf50 after market parts??

Flxrdad · 10-06-2008, 07:12 PM

I might soon be interested but have to see what happens with the zb.

How about a SDG107...

mikev · 10-14-2008, 08:53 AM

This guy seems to have disappeared.

Flxrdad · 10-14-2008, 10:16 AM

I don't hear from him in a week and when I don't answer his pm in one day, I've "disappeared". A bit impatient I'd say.

I seem to have a swap coming together so this is likely off the table.
Will know soon.

Dave.
