SOLD // Honda CT70 Trail 70 K0 1971 Red
The 1960s were booming times for the Honda Motor Company. After the incredible success of their early step-through frame models and mid-size displacement street models, Honda introduced the 50cc Mini Trail to the U.S. market in 1968 - they had been selling a similar model Monkey Bike in Japan and Europe. The Mini Trail was followed in 1969 by the 72cc CT70 (Trail 70) which cracked open the youth market with high-quality, stylized machines that adults could ride too. Both went on to huge sales results for many years.
This sweet red bike with original paint and engine was manufactured in December 1970, making it a 1971 model K0. Showing 2199 miles, It is highly original and unmolested with tight straight handlebars and foot pegs. The red paint shows well with a few nicks and scratches. The chrome is very good, no dents and very limited corrosion. The Honda exhaust pipe is excellent and the beautiful condition wheels are fitted with brand new Bridgestone tires. The seat is a nice, minty fresh, high quality reproduction and a nice chrome luggage rack is mounted.
This bike has a brand new carburetor, some fresh cables and high/low headlight switch and new headlight bucket, the often missing chrome right side grab handle and a few other new bits.
It starts on the second or third kick, does not smoke, idles, revs and runs excellent. Brakes are properly adjusted and the transmission shifts smoothly.
Being sold as a private sale from my personal collection. No sales tax or dealer fees. There is no title for the bike but a bill of sale will be provided.
