I know I can't ride a 1200 forever...but it looks like a windshield and heated grips may be tough to source...

I forgot how fantastic they were.
I started on an SL70. That is a great example, is it yours ?
Over here they were called a QA 50 if memory serves..

QA50 was another, but, different, 50cc model with a pushrod motor, vs. the OHC motor on the Z50, also smaller diameter, but  fatter wheels/tires, and completely different bodywork.   The frame, if not the same as, is similar to the earliest, hardtail Z50's.

Thanks Jas, I had them confused.

 In the late sixties, three of us that worked in the local Honda shop took the first three of those down to a railroad.
By lowering the air pressure in the tires we could ride the rails easily.

Ah, so nice!

For about 45 years now I own a Honda ST70, the model known as "DAX" here in Europe and in Japan. For most of the time it stood neglected in my garden shed. Now I have begun to bring it back on the road.
