    That’s an early 70s CT70. Key switch is one click for run and second click for lights. We had two when we were kids. A 3-speed auto and a 4-speed manual. We graduated from Little Indian and Bozo mini bikes to these…we were in heaven!! Great rugged bikes! Typical Honda quality. Ours were gold and green. The blue is very nice!

      @@5150mxVW buy a stingray with the peddles off and motor plate already welded in. then you could run the rim with another half rim welded to that. put on a giant fan belt and bump start it. it would immediately GO, no clutch! used a string for throttle off the carb. you would stop by killing the engine and the whole bike would skid to a STOP! Super dangerous and of course it constantly broke. but we wanted to ride and that’s what we knew at the time lol

    As many of these "will it run" videos I watch on TH-cam, it is always funny to see the surprise and excitement on your faces when it fires up and runs. I do the same thing. We are all a bunch of giddy school girls when an old motorcycle fires up. That is a very nice CT70.

    I’m in Connecticut, I bought a 1970 CT 70, I minted it out, I thought that my son would want to learn how to ride it, had no interest in it. I sold it and about six bills on it. Mine came with a metal fuel tank that was like Swiss cheese and a quilt blanket. Lots of holes and lots of patches. I installed a plastic one which was also a Honda OEM NOS. The carburetor always gave me grief. This bike was originally sold new in the state of Utah, it came with a high altitude carburetor, which was what ailed it, I had to run it with the choke on about a quarter of the way. Put the correct carb on it, good to go. For $500, you got it for a steal. I hope that your son enjoys it!!! Keep the paint side up and the rubber side down!!

    Hi Jay really like your channel, always look forward to your videos. I got an orange one of these a few years ago. Its a 1969 KO automatic, probably same as this one. Engine was stuck and would not turn, but it was all there. I got a new Japanese jug and slug from CHP in Texas for less than $100. Also needed points and condenser, and cleaned and lapped the valves. Ran great for a while, then the kick shaft stripped and had to replace that. When I was 5, a neighbor had one of these brand new and would ride me on the back and let me shift

    My brother bought one from our friends in ‘78, and it ran like a champ, but burned a bit of oil. My brother was not diligent when it came to maintaining things, so less than a month after his purchase he locked the motor up tight as a drum-and that was that. There are lots of Honda collectors, so someone will want that gem.

    We had a blue one like that, and the neighbors had an orange one that was mint with directionals, speedo, horn and lights, not a scratch on it. But we had more fun with ours because we went through the trails and took it off jumps, etc. Nice find, your son will have fun with it.

  • @GratefulEd907
    @GratefulEd907 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    $500?? That’s a great deal. Running good and ready for the road I’d say it’s gotta be worth $3,500. I’d love to have me they’re cool. Hopefully Honda will bring the new Dax 125 to the states. I’ll definitely get one of those if they do.

    My best friend had one. I learned to ride it at 7 years old. We rode that thing all over town. It felt like it went 100mph. I had a Suzuki 90 “Enduro” street and trail bike. My other buddy had a Yamaha 100 “enduro”. And the “only child” kid had a YZ80 and smoked us all, but he was spoiled. 😅. Such great memories. If you got that for $500 you got a GIFT. that thing is worth thousands.

    Just a heads up for anyone using carb vat,Berrymans,or any carb cleaning solution..Never,ever,ever put any carb gaskets,o rings,seals,or any non metallic parts into the solution if you wish to use or re use them again... Metal parts,go for it, soft parts, do not... Carb cleaner of any kind does not get introduced to any plastic,rubber,or non metallic anything,ever.. A 50/50 or straight ReaLemon juice in a pan will clean any carb 💯 % plus won't hurt the gaskets,rubber parts as long as one doesn't allow it to boil full roil too long...Lemon juice is cheal,errr much more cost economical than carb cleaner,or carb vat is..And a jitterbug sander placed upside down with a tupperware,or pot with carb,and realemon makes an excellent cheapskate ultrasonic cleaner ... Try it,it works...

    At 0:18 there is a 1974 or 75 Suzuki RL250 Exacta observed trials bike with a missing top end. Wonder what he's doing with that? They only made them for 2 years, but sold quite a few of them in the US and they're quite sought after now. Love the CT70 - such great little bikes and they'll go almost anywhere!

      The RL250 appears to have an aluminum gas tank which makes it a 1974 model. I have one just like it.

    I had one... rode it for about 2 weeks and graduated to a suzuki ts185. Needless to say as a not so young adult I rode a 83 yamaha yz490 that I still own but it does need a piston and sleeve. Thanks for the memories. 👍

    great bikes, you can fit a 120cc top end straight on, plug-n-play, plus all the cloned Hinda cub engines for in that frame, Schengen Honda clone engine 190cc with electric start etc straight into that frame, new 26mm carb $50 and woooosh !

    I noticed the Suzuki RL250 trials bike in the background of the opening scene...I have one of those too, mine is in about the same condition. 🙂 They aren't as collectible as the CT70 but they're a lot more rare.

    • @5150mxVW
      @5150mxVW  ปีที่แล้ว

      do you ?!?! Nice, yes , i parked in front of it for a quick shot for all to get a peek of it. The cylinder was there but i couldn't find the head...found the pipe too . Side covers were nice too! I don't think i have ever seen one.

    • @stuartstephens
      @stuartstephens ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @5150mxVW The cylinder head should be the same thing as a regular Suzuki 250 trail bike so it shouldn't be too hard to find another one. Same gasket set, too.. It looks like everything else is there. Those aluminum gas tanks were prone to cracking around the mounting bolts so look for that, of course they're easy to dent too.

    Watched your video earlier this morning and just happen to be looking at Facebook marketplace here in Florida and a guy in Hommassa FL 34446 is advertising 25-30 vintage Honda minibikes Z50's XR75's CT70's and ATC70 it appears he's parting them out or looking to sell the entire lot...just thought I would share with you since I know you were looking for vintage parts. His name is James K. Pack hope this helps ya😎👍

    I own two model h, that’s a great buy for a Ct70. Look on the steering neck of the frame, should show the year there and the serial number. Wish I lived closer I would give you double what you paid!
