    In finland theese are popular because you can drive 50cc when you are 15 years old.

    Thanks. I have a 1971 model that needs restored. It's one of my next projects. Going to keep it original as practical.

    Very cool, did not know they were so popular abroad, I have exported genuine and custom parts for these vehicles for nearly 15years, cheers from Japan ;)

    Had a Honda QA 50 when I was 10. I am 54 now and bought the Honda Grom as soon as it came out. I feel like that kid on the QA 50 every time I get on it

    Im almost done restoring mine and refuse to be all stock looking. My bike is the way I like it. Its a 1969 z50 with a 70cc engine thats stroked to 108cc thats an animal. The tank has been cromed and the only thing I need is 2 fenders with the lights.
