Beautiful Emerald Green 1971 Honda CT70H 4 SpeedBuild Date 12/1970Vin# CT70H143738 Engine # CT70HE143838Mileage 1393 For your consideration is the rare very sought after beautiful original 1971 Honda CT70H 4 speed in the beautiful candy emerald green. I will do my best to give a complete and thorough description. Please look at all the pictures I have provided and ask any questions you might have before placing a bid. This is an original 1971 CT70 4 speed bike in extremely good condition. Let me start off with what I know not to be original. First, the fuel lines appear to have been replaced and they used colored zip ties at the carb to hold them on. I have since purchased the correct clips and they have been installed. Second the foot pegs appear to have been repainted. Third the rear inner tube appears to have been replaced because it has a 90 degree valve stem instead of the straight factory installed one. With the exception of the 3 previous items I believe this bike to be completely original. So now about the rest of the bike.The bike starts right up drives straight and shifts good. The horn, high and low beam, brake light, and speedo all work as intended. The paint is still extremely nice with almost zero fade and even consistency but does have some of the usual minor flaws such as scratches and chips. The headlight bucket is intact and free of any of the usual cracks but does have some of the typical cable rubbing and a small spot where it has faded slightly. The chrome is in great shape for its age and is exceptionally clean. It does have some very light patina you get over time but almost zero rust. The seat pan is in great condition with no cracks. The seat is still nice but does have some small rips you can see in the pictures. I believe the small rips didn't warrant replacing the seat cover and taking away from the originality of the bike but that is an easy fix if the new owner chooses to do so. The cables are all in nice condition and function as intended. The tires are original Trail Wings with very minimal sidewall cracking.The bike comes with a California title and early CA blue Street Legal License Plate in excellent condition. It is currently in Non-Op status with the DMV system since 2009 so no back fees.You will also receive 1 key. Overall I think this bike will make any collector proud and to find one with the paint and chrome in this condition is getting harder and harder. You will notice most of the bikes in this condition these days have always been restored. Though these restored bikes are beautiful and many times look nicer then new bikes, they are still not original and many times contain many re-pop or cheap china parts. I always say" A bike can be restored over and over again making it nicer then new. Where an original can only be that way 1 time and to a true collector will be much more valuable in the long run." Yes this bike isn't cheap but compared to the restored bikes which commonly exceed 5K it's a bargain. Happy Bidding Payment$500 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction.
