1970 Honda CT

CT70190563

Clear

This is a nice and all original Candy Gold CT70 K0 with clear AZ title. Frame: CT70-190563Engine: CT70HE-190204Engine and frame are 359 numbers apart indicating the original engine This bike is very complete and and has all the things I look for in a CT70. The paint is excellent except for a small area behind the rear brake and on the swing-arm where some battery acid damaged it. Otherwise, this paint is as good as I’ve seen on an original gold bike. The chrome is in excellent condition. This bike is from central California and does not have any corrosion, discoloration, or pitting on the chrome. All the hardware is original and in place. The wheels are original paint and look good. The original tool kit is under the seat. The handlebars are are straight Everything works and it runs super strong. It rides great too...straight and smooth and it shifts correctly. The only issue is that it smokes at start up. This clears up after about 30 seconds or once the engine is warm. It has as much power as any K0 CT70 I’ve ridden and the engine sounds perfect. I’m almost certain it’s the piston rings causing the smoke at start-up. Also, the exhaust has a pinhole in the usual spot where the chrome guard mounts to the pipe up front. Based on those two issues I am keeping the reserve price very reasonable for a K0 this complete and cosmetically excellent. I have arranged shipping for a couple CT70’s in the past. I recommend U-Ship and can share my prior experience here if needed. Please reply with any questions and I will contact you as soon as possible. Thanks for your interest! -Rusty
