How can I find out what year my Z50 Honda Mini Trail is?

My boyfriend was given a Z50 Honda Mini Trail, and I dont know how to tell what year modle it is. After researching a little I believe it is either a '69 or '70. I think the serial number tag has been taken off. Are there any other ways to determine the exact year and model?How can I find out what year my Z50 Honda Mini Trail is?Hi Brat,,,,



Here's a List of Serial Number Ranges

It Wont have Your specific Number,OK?

What ya Do is determine which "Group" Yours falls in



For Example:



Z50AK0 1968-69 Z50A-100001~

That's the 1st Number,,,Beginning in '68



Z50AK1 1969-70 Z50A-120088~

These Began in '69



If YOURS is Between #100,001 and 120,088,,,,then it's a 68~69 K0 series.

Thats a range of about 20,000 bikes produced.

You can narrow it down by determining if it's a LOW or Higher Number within the Range.



A #101,650 would almost Certainly be an Early '68

A # 118,200 would almost certainly be a Late '69



I hope that makes sense.



Keep in mind the Production is NOT evenly split,,,,so You can only get "close".

Of the 20,000 68~69's,,,,Maybe 5,000 were 68 and 15,000 were 69??

Or vice versa??

Sorry,I cannot tell you Precisely.



Often it's down to a matter of Comparing YOUR # to another KNOWN example.

Your will be Higher or Lower,,,and you can narrow it down some.

Look for the VIN ID plate. It may give you the year it was manufactured on the plate.
