QuestionI bought what I believe to be a 1970 Honda Z50A. The steering stem tag is missing. I have searched high low for serial numbers on the net and have come up empty. The serial number on the frame is Z50A-220501 and the engine is Z50AE 212964. Can you tell me the model,(KO, K1??) year, and build date?
Thanks Mike

It looks like it is a 70-71 K1 version, from the above webpage.

Doubt that the build date can be derived from the serial number, until you find another one from a close numbered sequence with a build tag.
