Excellent video. Growing up when the 68 hit the streets, Two brothers who we are all pals, There parents bought them 2 new 68 Z50 bikes. My father was very stern and help build me a couple of mini bikes to destroy.. The impression that had on me in 1968 was something I have never forgot. I was so jealous, as well oblivious yet to the CT70. Well in my kid raising days, I started to buy old beat up ones I could clean up, but never sold one of them till, I got experienced and started to restore them. Retired now I have restored about 40+ Z50, s and have sold a ton of them. My personal collection is about only 8 of the Z50,s and I still restore them to this day. Thanks for the video. Rick
Very cool, my Dad bought me a 1968 KO in yellow , it was a straight guard , silver fenders, white grips and levers , toggle switch etc. i had a blast on that bike. Wish still had it big money now. Oh yeah got brand new
Super cool…! I always enjoy your videos….I have been looking for a 68….project, that’s the year I was born…..eventually I’ll find one that isn’t a million dollars…..🤣
At 10 I got the 1969 with the red candy paint. Used it til 18. Even cast a upper triple clamp in metal shop in High School to hold my welded perch lever bars, my 72' CZ 250 came with. I had a area next to the house we rode at.
Excellent details and narration! I just finished a complete resto on a 1969 which was my first bike back in 1972. Try moving your camera about 3x slower and pause on each subject for a few seconds so we can focus on the details. Great job.

Wow, that’s awesome! Great bike to cruise as a kid. It always surprises me when people do still have their childhood bikes.
Love this mate! Keep uploading the goods.
Thanks man! I’m planning to be more consistent with uploads this year.

Good job on overview. I have owned too many to count. Am down to 2 K1's, fully restored.

Thank you! Yeah, 68s are pricey when they pop up. I held out and finally found these two last year for a decent price.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! What color is your 1969?
I added a link in the description to where you can purchase the Z50 guide I mentioned on Amazon.
The early red and blue bikes was so cool
Oh yea, I really like the blue ones.

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the feedback.
