► Dive into Aaron's build sheet for the CT70: win.gs/3bak90E
Freestyle motorbike rider and expert stuntman Aaron Colton is back, bringing you into Garage 93 for another episode of Bike Builds. This time, Aaron's taking on a full-on refresh of a classic Honda CT70 minibike and turning it into the ultimate pit bike. In the spirit of Aaron's previous Project Two-Stoke builds, he'll take you through every step of the bike's new lease on life - from acquiring the bike to cleaning, painting at a low cost, assembly and more. Join Aaron in the shop and get some inspiration to take on your own Honda Trail 70 build.
Read Aaron's thoughts on the build:
"The CT 70 internationally is called the Honda Dax. To me, it’s part of the Honda mini trail family and honestly [the mini trail family] is what lays the foundation for motorcycling, as far as normal consumer-based people riding motorcycles. The CT 70 was kind of from that same family, but the street legal version - I don’t know the exact numbers, but internationally, I think they sold millions of them. It was super low priced. The motorcycle came out in 1968 and they sold through all the way to 1994. It had a really long run. It’s always been a bike that I thought was super cool because really it’s like a small, fun kick bike, but its street legal. This one you can literally go to the grocery store."

I still have the 1971 CT70 my dad bought me as my first bike. I will never forget doing my first oil change on it at 9 thinking I was some genius and the many burns I attained by the exhaust. I need to go over and refresh it like it deserves after my many years of mud bogging and ratting the thing out. Not to mention it still starts on the first kick.
So many memories have been made with the CT70!
So nice of the CT to give you some free Leg Tattoos. Give that 71 some love!
Waw, this CT is definitely a family member right now ^^ Congratulations for keeping is such a long time !
i have the 89 honda monkey
I have my 72 same my father for my birthday Mine still runs abuts it’s worn out Somehow managed to not destroy it but doing a resto now also maybe 12-15 years ago a customer gave me his I believe 1969 or 70 that needs a lot but looking forward to getting them done
“Stripping went amazing last night.”😂
It always does ;)
My girlfriends and I always say that.
HaHaHa😂
Haha yo I was just going to say that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂
It always does
Lucky kid to have a mum that will let her responsibly enjoy a great and wholesome sport
Aaron made this look super easy, would make a great starter project if you want to go on to some bigger bike projects at some point
at my place a lot of spare parts, I can help you find them
That garage looks like heaven 😌
This is cool, big fun. And same here for me, a 50cc Honda Dax was my first motorcycle in '75 when I was an American teen in Frankfurt, West Germany. And local laws were a bit relaxed for us 'military dependents' as I recall that we could ride a 50cc motorcycle at the age of 15 and then something more powerful at age 17--so I had the Honda for the street and the woods and then an italian-made Harley 175 once I turned 17. And my favorite trip on the Honda was an August '75 ride from Frankfurt to Darmstadt and back with a friend who had a 50cc Yamaha. And we took turns at the front to give those little engines a break.
Awesome story!
Aaron is living a really amazing life. He gets to enjoy his hobbies and his family everyday.
This was dope as hell... Makes me wanna go out and do the same thing! Well done
Start looking! The perfect project bike.
Do it. You wil love that bike when its self made no matter brand
Same here.. but I can't afford one of these 😂😂
Are u in California
at my place a lot of spare parts, I can help you find them
Another masterpiece out of Garage 93, please allow Aaron to keep doing these!
Thank you! Deeper and Deeper with every build!
I had one, greatest time of life when your on a motorcycle, no license, riding down the railroads tracks, not coming back.. cool family...
CT70 = Freedom
The Trail 70 was the first two-wheeler I rode with a clutch. The late 60's and early 70's was an awesome time to grow up. Everyone in the neighborhood had mini-bikes.
I remember the qa50 Honda as well as all the 1969 bikes I had a dealership East side Honda here in Detroit Michigan down the street from were we live.
I love that you actually show some riding after each of the rebuilds. so many people out there spend all this time to rebuild something forgetting that its begging to be ridden!
The seal of approval is literally the most important part. I am glad you enjoyed!
@@AaronColton93 It makes me want to do it to my DRZ! Thanks for the video
These bikes were the best as a kid growing up in the 80s these were so much fun.
I own a 1969 ct70 honda bike, and I have been wanting to do a full build with it. Awesome bike!!! I enjoyed how organized you where about the whole build, inspiring!
Did my '81 CT70 restore about 5 years ago. Put about 1100km on it since then and every time I ride it someone offers to buy it from me! Glad to see another one restored and back on the road guys!
bro breaks my heart you stripped such a good survivor paint
Custom builds are not for the faint of heart. It upset a few purists for sure.
That's why I bought a crappy bare frame so I didn't ruin a clean looking one.
Hurt me a bit too. Wish he sourced a worse frame
My dad had 2 trail 90s from the 70s with perfect patina on them but I was young and dumb and didn't know what they were.
I have this same year bike in mint condition all original
here in belgium alot of 16 - 18 year olds drive those around, they are 50cc tho. you dont see them alot anywhere else in the world its cool to see you rebuild one i have one too
My dad bought one of these and the Honda 50 model back in the 70's, we mostly ran the 50, the 70 was a torque monster. I was going up a big hill on the 50 and guy on a big bike said you will never make it up there I told him you just watch, I did make it up there. I love these bikes.
I come back to watch this every other month, its such a well put together build and Aaron is just great at narrating.
Please make a playlist of all your builds/restorations, and please do more!
Congrats man youve built a beautiful bike and life! You dont know how lucky you are to have a great career, great home and family who supports you
She's So Proud of her PaPa!!!
Rightfully So bc these Builds Are SoOo DOPE!
My dad owns a CT50G which sit for about 22 years in the garage. After some carb cleaning and a oil change it runs perfect ! Still there is plenty to do but it's good enough for now.
Dude you Killed it , been watching all your Builds today and I absolutely love this 70
Restored one of these a few months ago I’m absolutely jealous in how good of a condition you found your bike especially for that price range, dirtiest bikes I’ve ever cleaned found snake skin the my own restoration
I remember riding with this guy way back in the day in MN. Didn’t even have a license yet and made us all look like amateurs.
Nice job Aaron great to see young blood creating there builds. Its hard to believe but these bikes are more popular today than ever. Keep it going Rick
T Bolt USA is the best company ever! Very knowledgeable sincere owners they truly do try their hardest to be the best in pit bikes Great informational video THANK YOU!
Love all these videos from Aaron and garage 92. Talk about a role model not to mention an awesome Dad!
Still at it.... I love seeing this. Congratulations on all of your success, Aaron!
Thank you buddy! I hope all is well. To this day remember the first day I went to the ATL spot and your where absolutely flying on the front wheel.
omg! would love to build one of those... they look so fun!
OMG, yes thisbwS my first bike! I loved that thing. I was always amazed at its durability and ability to work on it.
This was my first motorcycle i got as a kid...
Just saw this bike in person at COTA and it's every bit as beautiful as it is in the video
Great Job on Resto Mod. Its great to see the younger generation keep the torch going. Great Job.
These were millions of peoples first bike. Mine wasnt ( ke 100). they put nostalgia in the soul when people see their first. Priceless
We had a1970 model, green. Then it was all mine. Lot of memories too!
Wow! Great work! Congratulations!
My first bike, damn thing is probably still running somewhere! Been riding for forty years, had many Honda 750's. Never let me down....EVER!
I absolutely love these builds!!!!!
I had an ST 90 was a my first bike, awesome little machines ,great resto job
If that’s the old formula of the aircraft stripper, prepare for disappoint the next time you need to purchase it!
Build turned out great!
I like your approach to everything aspect of the restorations. You are doing it perfect my man God bless you.
PS: Your organization skills are impressive.
Awesome build. I had a blue one back in 79
Your building skills are just amazing ! Im blown away with every build you do !
Great build! If you don’t mind me asking we’re did you get your front end forks disk brakes and triples?
I’ve heard of trail 70’s. Never seen one of these. Crazy
amazing job always fun to see aaron
that ct70 is very lucky
My first bike was a ct70 back in the late 80s. Got it from a family member, and it got me hooked.
Where is the gas tank? Lol
seeing a clean garage like that just make me happy!
THIS!!!!!!
Wow you found a great one to start with. Turned it Awesome, great build.
Well done, Sir! Much love from Northern California. 👨👩👧❤
Got an 82 and beat the heck out of it! Love that little red thumper ❤
That was my 1st bike when I was a little boy, I believe it must have been 1976. Was a great time. But as I remember right, the Dax was called ST-70 , in any case in Europe and in Asia. Never mind, you did again a nice job !
Beautiful scooter!!! I do things like this regularly but I can not get over how great the video quality side of things with this build. Beautiful garage, excellent documentation throughout the entire process and best of all the most organized and cleanest garage ever to work in.
Its not scooter its moped
My apologies "moped"
Mine is still sitting at my garage waiting to be brought to life again.. planning on a resto mod after seeing this.. thank you..
That turned out great! I had 2 of them 1 automatic and manual. We would ride all night sometimes. Great job 🙂
That's amazing process,with great result
bloody awesome job Aaron, looks great!!
Very nice professional job! I have two, a 70 and 71 that I’m starting soon.
This is such a cool video! I hope to rebuild a Honda mini soon. And Aaron is a great presenter! I really hope to see more of these builds especially for minis. One thing though, the link for the build sheet takes me to a video.
I used to have a blue one many many years ago. I miss those days

You brought back so many memories
