people actually raced z50's? oh well ive come close. ive had mine flat out a few times (at 45 km/h)

Before SL70's and XR75's there were only Z50's and Dax's so if you wanted to race.. that was it.

yeah but racing a hardtail z50 must've been interesting. without any rear suspension the handling is a bit funny

It would have been hard going not much difference in all the field you would have had to ride flat out to stand a chance of winning.
