I remember having one of these when I was 10 years old. No lever clutch, it's centrifugal.
My dad jumped on it one day started accelerating down the road went to shift gears and pulled the rear brake (which normally is the clutch hand lever) and he locked up the rear tire. I started laughing my ass off.
I hear a little "clicking" noise at idle on mine is it normal ? BTW nice minibike go see my chanel there is a vid of me riding one of mine. Also one of me falling with it ;)
One of the most popular editorial topics in current moto-mags is this, "is motorcycling doomed?"... and I wish all the ct70 and mini-trail enthusiasts could convince Honda to make a new mini. There is nothing where there used to be two choices. The mini-trail 50 or ct70 was a bike my Dad could ride, even though I rode it 30 years ago, now what? A CRF70F? A Ruckus? What a bummer. Your ct70 looks and sounds great BTW. LOVE IT.
Classic sound! I remember when these came out I was jealous. I had a brand new 1969 mini trail 50 I had gotten for xmas when I was 11. A few months later my friends started showing up with the 70's. Very cool. I'd take an old 50 or 70 again in a heartbeat!
i cant believe that honda made these things soooooo dam slow, i just got one and it is horendisly slow, just absolutly nothing to it and i went thru the entire engine
@wunshliste Mine with the cammed 88cc kit will do between 55 and 60 with the 3 speed auto cluch. :-) Speedo quit moving so I really don't know the true speed. Need to video it, and GPS it with my droid this summer.
I have 13 frames and boxes upon boxes of used and brand new parts for them. All are 1st gen 69-71. Was going to rebuild them one at a time with my son. These bring back memories.
Nice bike. Also nice to see it with all the pieces. Our orange '74 was stripped but the price was right and it's already dinged up so we're not afraid to ride it! Great little bikes.
Very nice. I am rebuilding my 1969 CT70K0 auto just like yours. We bent the frame jumping it as kids so I got a 91 frame and its being fully restored by myself with a little help from my dad on the 88cc kit install. Decided to do Emerald Green cause I had a 1970HK0 and my brother had this one. Still glad I bought it for 50 bucks from him 20 years ago! LOL.
there are a few in the paper every now and then, and they are around 300 bucks canadian. But, collectors items don't go for what they're worth round here.
I loved your video.I am 48 years old and I had a 1970 CT 70.The exact color of yours and mine was in excellent condition also. It was great to see and hear that bike again. I had so much fun on that bike when I was a kid! Thanksfor postin'
