Im thinking about getting a Z50 as a project how much should i be looking at?
I have no idea at all with Z50's and how much i should be paying etc...and even if it was a rolling shell i would put a bigger engine anyway...


Cheers Samray
 
u can pay any where from 100 to 1000 for one, then even more than 1000 to restore it to original spec.
 
If i was looking for one where should i go? post a wanted to buy on MR?

Because i just went on ebay their is only 1 and its buy it now almost 5K lmao
Buts its an orginal never been started etc...
 
do all that you can,as years go on, these bikes become harder and harder to find.
5k is reasonable for one fully restored, my bro has 2 and there's alot of coin involved in restoring, think wisely before you start.
 
look to spend around 400 to 500 on a compliance frame

then it goes up from there , you can spend as low as prolly a 1000 to get a bike on the road but will be a ****ter

or up to 20,000 and im serious

mine prolly has cost me around the 4000 mark

thats using china parts

There was a rolling frame going locally, with compliance plate, bids starting at $600.... so if you find one, it wont be cheap...
Ebay stores like JR motorsports, KDF sport and Rec Imports have some great Zed part REAL cheap...
but yeah, you'll be lucky to have change from $5k...
 
I'm thinking about selling this one... Pm me for details. Its road registered in vic.

Yeah thats what made me think that i should get one, with all these parts so cheap on ebay but its the bike that costs a fair bit...im not looking to buy one now or in the near future considering how much they are...I think its something i should be looking at when i get a fulltime job lol
 
well if there is $ buring a hole in your pocket let me know I got a frame, swinger and fork tubes available... sorry but no compliance on the frame :( looking around 200 for the lot.. and im in vic.. BONUS!

NOTE: no bars,shocks lower fork legs or wheels included.. its FRAME, SWINGER and UPPER FORK TUBES ONLY! and its a z50R.. if that makes a difference(slightly different tank mount to the J series..)

PM me if your interested..

if ya building take your time in buying stuff, i found all my stuff real cheap, but its no where near the quality of snitchy's Z, thats just porn
