I feel bad if someone buys this thinking its the real deal... ask the guy about the bar code on the tires :doah: FAKE!

 

[Jeff Clark]

I couldn't resist I had to ask.. this is my question lets see if we get a tire pic.

Can you get me a good pic of the name on the tire sidewall and the little numbers... is that a bar code on the tires? nice..

I know the USA starting using barcodes around 1978. maybe Japan was ahead of the game?..:shrug:

It is nice to see rare crated bikes/atv's. They DO exist, but Z50 has alot of red flags against it.

This stirred up alot of arguments a while back online.

Nope bar code is a US thing yep we actually came up with that one.. it was for reading rail cars that thing is as fake as they get.. even the packaging..

This is how a 72 was in the crate and the assembly manual you had to put it togeather axles wheels etc some of the packaging on this bike was not even invented in 72

Crate...

Guy I work with had a job back in the day uncrating these things. Said all the crates were mahogany, it grew like weeds in the homeland.

Its just a repop not even a resto you could buy those a few years back when the real hondas were bringing big money.
