anyone ever own a Honda CT 70?
i think this is what my neighbor has. she offered it to me for a mere $300. i remember it was pretty faded, but very cherry. anyone ever have one of these? my co-worker says they can be street legalized. seems like a simple restoration.

BuY IT! BUY IT!
Dad paid 700 for a cherry one that ran a little rough ~5 yrs ago. They are very well loved amongst the RV guys. I do not like the riding position on them at all, but they are nearly bulletproof, pretty sure footed, and very good to take camping, hunting, to the track etc.... |

Buy it, my Uncle John got one of those for running up to the store, then moved up to a CB 400 when the 70 was not enough. That little 70 ran forever though, fun little bike

Get it! I just finished restoring A monkey 50 ( in progress pic ) . Yes they can be street legal. All parts are readily available ( 1973 Honda CT70K2 OEM Parts, 1973 Honda CT70K2 OEM Motorcycle Parts - BikeBandit.com ) and it makes a great little project.

If you want to sell it to me for a profit, PM me. I'd like a little bike to carry on the Westy Vanagon.

Just a note - they made two models. 1st is auto clutch w/3 speed 2nd was 4 speed/manual
The four speeds are more desirable and worth more $$ (more fun!)

If it's real and not a Chi Com knockoff, I'd be all over that like a bad rash for $300.
I've wanted one ever since I was a little kid. Saw two on eBay selling for $800 the other day. |

If you pass, please let us know. I'm sure there will be a bidding war. :-)
