This is a 1972 Honda CT70H K1. It comes with a clear Ohio title that states it is a 1973, but according to Honda it is a 1972. Date of manufacture on neck tube tag is 2/72. I believe just about everything on this bike is original with the exception of the seat. The seat was professionally recovered at an upholstery shop. The seat pan is original. Engine starts up on the first or second kick, and runs great. The bike shifts through all 4 gears smoothly, and rides straight. The whole electrical system is intact and works properly. Brakes are good and function as intended. The handlebars even fold down easily which is often times not the case. Helmet holder works also. Frame number is CT70H-2016418. Engine number is CT70HE-216576. Paint and chrome are in pretty good condition for the bike's age. Tires are original Bridgestone Trail Wings and still have lots of meat on them. I only noticed a few minor cracks in the sidewalls. There are some dents and some rust as shown in pics. Bike is offered with local pick up only. I can give you the phone number of a very reliable professional motorcycle transport company that offers extremely competitive rates. Please email with any questions
This is a 1971 Honda CT70. Frame number is CT70-253498, Engine number is CT70E-274847. The left crankcase half was replaced during the engine rebuild which explains the 21K point difference in the serial numbers. I rebuilt the engine and transmission within the last couple of months. The rings, clutch discs, seals and all gaskets were replaced with new. Also replaced with new was the stator, points, condenser, and ignition coil. The carburetor was replaced with a new CHP carburetor. I went through the electrical system and replaced the battery with a sealed lead acid unit, the ignition switch, horn, horn button, dimmer switch, front and rear brake light switches, and tail light bulb. All parts were purchased new for this bike. The throttle linkage was worn out and replaced with new, as were the throttle cable and front and rear brake cables. Front grips, fork boots, buddy pegs and left wheel adjuster were all replaced. This bike was put back into a 100% functional state. All systems work as intended. It's a great rider! Engine runs flawlessly, shifts through all gears, and rides straight. It has it's share of bumps and bruises from 44 years of use, but overall is in pretty good shape as seen in pics. Bike will be sold with " Bill of Sale" only! No shipping on this bike. Local pick up only! Check U ship.
