The Baker Collection acquired this Z50M for a VIP client.  The bike will go through a full frame-off restoration to bring it back to its original condition and will be suitable for entry at concourse shows.

​

Some parts are exceptionally hard to find and needed to be bought at an auction in Japan. To match paint I acquired original cans of Honda touch-up paint for a factory exact color match.  All the chrome was re-chromed by Sherm's in Sacramento.  The Z50M was the third Monkey bike, the first was the Z100 built for Tama Tech Motor Park as a kid's ride, and the second was the CZ100 which was the first monkey bike sold to consumers.  In 1968 Honda introduced the Mini Trail as a successor to the Z50M.  The Monkey bike returned in 2018 and continues to thrill riders every where.
