Description

Additional photos of this Honda Mini Trail are available here for your perusal.

Affectionately called the “Monkey” in other markets, the Mini Trail (as branded in the US) started in 1961 as a ride at the Tama Tech amusement park, a former venture owned by a Honda subsidiary that was all about promoting the “joys of driving”.

The name came from the fact that riders looked like monkeys on the diminutive machines, but the bikes were so popular that Honda created a production version in 1964. Japan and Europe got to play with it first, but American riders got their chance in 1968 with a model designated the Z50.

This specific Mini Trail (VIN: Z50A287555) came to us through Canada, but it has spent the majority of its life on display in a collection and it is currently in one of our storage hangars.

As shown in the video above, this Mini Trail is a runner that’s ready for pit bike duties (or whatever fun you can come up with)! It is offered with a bill of sale.
