Have just scored a Z50J, picture is on my profile. Was told its tidy and a 1973, however on closer inspection it aint so tidy and after I did some research on the bike, it cannot be a 1970s bike as it has plastic guards. Not totally concerned about it but the seller is being a pratt. My first not so good trade on tardme. However, I've started stripping the wee machine down and will thoughroughly(sp) clean and maintian the bike. It looks like it has had a bad case of neglect and thats about to change. I suspect that its a 1983, maybe not so collectable, but I won't feel so bad when people learning wipe out either. Anyone else here got any of these bikes, know Sensei has his old (but nice nick) Z50 that he learnt on and have seen bling in action (his son). Also is there anyone out there with parts? At this stage I'm goign to have to get some plastic welding done as the rear guard is almost split in half. Will be cool to get it done too as it just need some indercators and it could be quite easily made road legal. Started after some freash petrol and some distilled water in the battery. Be interesting to see how many of these wee things are about also when I retire...

Very very nice! All you need to do now is replace that tiny motor with a CR500's

How much did it set you back anyway?

I would be surprised if a CR80 engine would be able to be bolted to the bike. The bike itself cost me $800-00, not sure if its a good deal or not, but would like to think so

Well make one fit then

I'm no expert but it doesn't sound like too bad of a deal

You get me one in good nick and I'll have a go

But, but, but a CR500 is not an inline four!

In deference to your handle, I reckon you need to fit it with a CBR1000 engine. Or change your name to inlineone

Ah to hell with it. Why don't you get a inline 6 Stratosphere engine, or maybe a RC211V V5?

but I only have one IL4 and 2 singles

[Ixion]

Well, maybe you could get two more singles and join all the singles together? Or hang a single each side of the four, and change your name to inlinesix?

The next bike that I want (I'm collecting motorcycles) is a 2-stroke twin

If youre gonna be a true bike collecter, you need to own a mountian goat. The only bike to be designed and produced for general sale in New Zealand. Pure history. I have two of them!!

Yes! Two strokes rule.

I reckon a two smoker twin, you want either a big one , T500 or RZ400, or a real small screamer. The T90 Wolf or T125 Stinger is what I'd like to get hold of. Sigh. Must first get Mrs Ixion over the line, she complains as it is about 5 bikes.

There is a GT250 X7 on Trademe at the moment though. Of the 250 twins they were one of the best. Insane little screaming demons.

When can i pick one of them up???

As for the 2 smoker, I want preferably a rd250lc, but will settle for a rz350lc or a rd350lc. Alas I am not in the financial position atm. But it will be happening hopefully by the end of the year at the latest. Unless someone has a good RZ500 lying around...

They are rare as rocking horse shit these days...

My two, will soon be carved up and turned into one working goat. Came out standard with disk wheels, with rotary hoe tyres, with the big deep cross cut tractor tread!
