  • Ken Crites of Huntington Beach, California shows us his custom monkey bike cafe racer that he built himself in his garage based on a 1970 Honda CT70. It features carbon fiber seat and fenders, Koni air shocks, upside down forks, 160 c.c. engine (replacing the stock 70 c.c.), clubman handlebars with bar end mirrors, billet footpegs, extended swing arm and numerous other custom touches. It'll do 60 mph in top gear! It's like a Honda Grom! Check out the video to see! Riding video shot with the GoPro Hero 3+.

    Nice to see one of these Hondas. A friend of mine had one when we were kids. Great little bikes. Awesome job.

    May I offer my congratulations on the amount of work that went on to make this bike what it is. Everything is so meticulously designed and made. The overall lines are so pleasant and the finish and combination of frame, wheels, brakes, dampers and engine and exhaust are really elegant. Again Congratulations.

    I am not a bike person but I sure appreciate the work that went into this bike. Very nice job, it almost makes me want to get into bikes. Great job.

    This is a beautiful bike. I'm 49 years old, and my first actual motorcycle i owned was the Honda CT70, when I was 10 years old. I have looked over the years to find a decent one to restore, but yours by far is the most interesting mods I've seen. Love what you did to it. It does bring back memories.

    Amazing work and bike! I have a CT70 clone myself, and am amazed at what an 'attention magnet' this bike is! Mine is a Lifan 110 GY-3, and it has a 110cc motor in it. It's only capable of 50 MPH, but riding the local state park twisties, where the speed limit is 35 to 40, is a breeze! I stopped at the local nature center parking lot today, and I couldn't get out of there with all the questions and comments I was getting from people.

  • @strangewoofer5780

    You are a freaking artist. I had a CT 70 when I was a kid back in the 1970's. It was so fun to ride on the streets, pasture and bayou trails. Would have rather owned a Yamaha 80 dirt bike but Dad could not afford it. Your bike is beautifully put together. Fantastic job. Enjoy it!

    You built a one off beast! It's a true work of art! To fully appreciate it, consider making a video of a side by side comparison of a stock bike vs. yours. I'm blown away by your imagination and craftsmanship!

    I have a ct70 with a Lifan 140 engine. It will do 55 with the gps on my phone proving the speed. Any faster wouldn't be safe. The fact that this guy has bigger/better tires is awesome! Bet it maneuvers very nice! Beautiful bike!! Very very jealous over here.

  • @muzkat101
    @muzkat101 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Sweet litttle monster, but it is the exhaust sound that has me most liking this bike... that is a nice little rumble -- so much more pleasant to hear than many of these other small bikes on the road today.

    That thing is so cool! The build quality is amazing. It's a good thing you're not selling the parts to convert a CT70 or ST90. I'd be even more broke. I'm curious what the 160 engine is off of. Anyone know?
