I think for stunting it would be fine... are those the wide tire ones? I rode my buddy's wide tire 50 and that thing would turn ridiculously tight circles.

thanks for the reply i was jus a little bit afraid of it because i dont see alot of parts for the z50 do they interchange with the xr

z50s are a blast to ride, they seem to hold up to abuse better than the xr/crf's. i love stunting the z's, absolute blast.
most of the parts are the same. hondaminitrail.com fast50s.com and dratv.com have the parts that are different. frame is similar, you can swap right on a xr/crf swinger or xr/crf forks. to do the swing arm you need a shock mount tho. stunt parts, engine parts, fork parts(springs, legs, etc), and controls are the same as the xr/crf's. plastics, triple clamp / upper fork, seat, wheels and a few other parts are different but also easy to find.

I think for stunting a z50 is fine... if you wanted to upgrade to ride dirt the xr would be the better starting platform.

thanks for the replies i found a xr 100 for a hundred dollars more so i am thinkin of buying it to stunt then if i dont like it i will trade it for somethin since it is worth more and two years newer than the z

sounds good... not as easy to stunt but you'll probably gain more good habits from it.

well guess i wont be getting the xr100 the guys lil cuz wanted it so he had to see if the lil one wanted it and he does so back to the z so in fixing this thing up wut needs to be done exactly handle bars 12 o clock bar then wut suspension and sprockets wut size sprockets are good to use i am thinking two rear shocks off a crf 50 would work for the back for a while at least i jus need ideas i will prolly make alot of the parts myself like the 12 bar and handle bar risers since theres no clamp

big bars and stunt pegs are the only must have. then i suggest bigger riding pegs, folding shifter, uni filter, exhaust, and tall seat. stock suspension works fine for me for stunting. i can max it out bunny hopping it i think tho.
