Honda Z50A Minitrail Identification Guide Z50AK0-Z50A'78, 1968-1978
I put this guide together using the "Honda Motorcycle Identification Guide", sources on the web and my own personal experiences with the Honda Minitrail. I don't have access to all of these bikes to study them myself so I used these pictures, mostly from online auctions, to aquire and demonstrate the differences. The honda guide provided the engine and frame numbers and the release dates, but there are some distinctions that are not pointed out in the Honda guide and I try to add them on these pages. I do not by any means proclaim to be an expert on Minitrails so I welcome any input. I would like to aquire a gallery composed of every color and option per model, but the pictures I grab from auctions are not always the best sepecimins If you have one of these models in original or restored condition, please send pictures to me at
munkybusiness@bellsouth.net.
Credit is given where it is due for pictures that were aquired from other web sites or the auction photos were taken from another website. In these cases you can click on the pictures and your browser will take you to that site.

I used a variety of online and bundled web page editors as well as Notepad to make these pages because I was curious to check them out. This explains the different formats in these pages.
