Description
VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY AN UNRESTORED 1981 HONDA Z50R
THIS BIKE WAS SUPPLIED BY DEALER IN HAMPSHIRE - BOB GOLLNER Ltd - SEE THE DEALER DECAL ON THE ORIGINAL REAR MUDGUARD
THE STORY I WAS GIVEN BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, WHO COLLECTED OFF ROAD MOTORCYCLES, AND WAS A DEALER IN HAMPSHIRE, WAS THAT THIS Z50R WAS SOLD JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS 1980, WHERE A DEPOSIT WAS TAKEN, AND THE BIKE REMAINED AT THE DEALER, AS THE PROSPECTVE BUYING DID NOT COMPLETE THE SALE. THE 'SOLD' TICKET STILL REMAINS IN PLACE
A CLOSE LOOK AT THE CONDITION OF THE MOTORCYCLE'S PARTS SHOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN VERY LITTLE, IF ANY USE AT ALL. THINGS LIKE THE MUDGUARDS HAVE A SHEEN AS WOIULD BE EXPECTED ON BRAND NEW GUARDS.
THE BIKE HAS SIGNS OF WHERE 44 YEARS OF STORAGE HAS PRESENTED SOME PATINA, BUT BOTH MYSELF AND THE PREVIOUS COLLECTOR HAVE RESISTED THE TEMPTATION TO RESTORE FROM ORIGINAL
THE BIKE HAD MOST LIKELY STOOD FROM NEW, PERHAPS WITH THE OCCASIONAL START. PRIOR TO LISTING, I RINSED THE FUEL TANK, AND ADDED FRESH FUEL, AND THE BIKE STARTED AFTER THIRD KICK. IT REQUIRED THE CARB PILOT JET TO BE CLEANED, TO ALLOW IT TO RUN AS YOU WOULD EXPECT
THE PICTURES WILL OFFER A GREAT INDICATION OF WHAT IS ON OFFER HERE, AND VIEWING IS INVITED, IN SURREY, NEAR REIGATE
I AM SELLING THIS FINE EXAMPLE, AS ONE OF MY FULL COLLECTION OF 'BUBBLE TANK' Z50R'S, AND WILL NOT BE LOOKING TO PART WITH IT, UNLESS A FAIR PRICE CAN BE REACHED
IF YOU WANT A SPECIAL ORIGINAL EXAMPLE, YOUR SEARCH IS OVERVERY UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE AN APPRECIATING CLASSIC SMALL HONDA, IN A TOTALLY UNMOLLESTED CONDITION
