James May: The Reassembler

Series 2

Episode 3: Mini Motorcycle

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC FourLatest broadcast: on BBC Four

James is faced with reassembling a 1970s Honda Z50A Mini Trail Motorcycle from all its 303 component parts. This exciting and portable mini motorcycle was fun for all the family and got a whole generation of kids hooked on motorcycles for the rest of their lives.
