To complement the oddball “Monkey Davidson” from a week back, here’s two other rare examples of Honda’s Z50, both offered for sale by the same seller.
First we’ve got the “Christmas Special”. The Christmas Special is also known as the “Chrome Edition”, as everything (even the frame) is chromed. It seems that the model name was actually Z50RD, where the D stands for Dealer. Top Honda retailers got 2 of these to sell in 1986 in the month of December. This example is original with the exception of three front exhaust shield bolts and the rear tire. Unfortunately, the tank has 3 dents and some light scratches, but these bikes are hard to find.

Then we’ve got the off-road variant, the Z50R. This example is in excellent shape – the plastics have no cracks, and only minimal scratches. Everything works and it looks great:
