Oh Dude! My cousins & I had Honda CT70H's (4-speed manual clutch) back in the early '70's, and we always could get them to go about 50 mph. Through the mini bike trails (when they had them) at Lee Hall Campground in Virginia, we would ride through the woods and fields at break-neck speeds. Down the hills we hit nearly 55 mph. The Honda Trail 70 was, and still is to this day, the BEST Mini Trail bike ever made.
My family had four of the ct 70s when I was kid, took them camping in west Virginia mid to late seventies. 35 to 40 mph about normal,amazing dependability and absolute blast!
I love your street. Too much fun, a dad and his son! True story, I was riding my CT90 down a busy road, in shorts and flip flops like your son. And rode past my mom. She wasn't amused at my riding gear.
The 2-strokes were tons of fun, and quick! I have a vintage Honda MB5 (2-stroke, 50cc, 5-speed manual) that hits 53 MPH stock! Amazing for a 50! Too bad they don't make many quality small displacement bikes anymore, for export to the U.S.
The bike that would be in the middle would be the Honda 50. Much nicer than the ct70 because they put the gas tank where it normally should be instead of under the seat. Honda made beautifully crafted bikes back then.
How do u think aboit the chineese version 125cc??? What can i add to it to mk it faster and run better. I know i can get a honda sticker from the 70's on ebay. Thanks BSIPP
my sister & i used to ride the honda 70 on the roads sometimes, i got it up to 40mph, otherwise i couldn't have ridden it there, my dad used to ride it to work sometimes, we had a lot of fun on it! ty for the video. Did you ever try putting seafoam in the tank of the 75? it helps clean out the engine, carb & points, lots of people winterize their bikes like that....happy trails!
I can't tell you how many miles I put on my kv75. If it wasn't raining I was on that all around my neighborhood. My first bike. I was like 12 and I didn't know I was supposed to put 2stroke oil in it. I rode that for like 3 years with straight gas. Ran like a champ for the whole time.
So i found a suzuki rm 125 for $150, seller says it needs engine work and is missing a few things. If i were to replace engine completely is that all id need to do? (Besides plastics and seat)
I got it running and it ran for about 4 days of me starting it everyday and the Kickstart locked up I think it's one of the Kickstart gears but I don't know
Hey you know a lot about dirtbikes can you suggest a bike that woul be good for im 4.6 feet tall weigh 70 pounds and have a little experience thanks and yes im a kid
can't wait to get out on the bike,we just had more snow (Nova scotia) my buddy has a 09 yzf 250 race ready all I have done is k&n filter and boyesen reeds,he wants to race,I think he will win

Heyy.... Thanks for the Reply and thanks for sharing these Awsome Videos! Cheers Bros.
If both bikes were in prefect running condition and both riders weighed the same the KV 75 would be quicker.....hands down. Also I have two MT1's,2 KV's and a CT70.
The KV75 was fast and should had been faster. But it was unreliable, weak gearbox and the brakes were horrible. But it was tons of fun and had a little bit of a power band when running right.
Learned to ride on a ct70, back in the good ol days
I'm currently learning to ride on a ct70
Me too, only a few months ago and just rode again today.

in 1980 i had a Ct 70 & my buddy had a KV75 ... After riding his KV i felt cheated ... That dang Kawa was fast !

1982 MB5 was the best thing ever made for kids that were comfortable with a clutch!!!
I had a kv75 when I was a kid loved it absolutely loved it he didn't have a clutch you just ran right through the gears it was so easy to learn on
That KV75 was bogging out....
The CT70 aka Honda Trail 70 will always be the King in my book
The bike that would be in the middle would be the Honda 50. Much nicer than the ct70 because they put the gas tank where it normally should be instead of under the seat. Honda made beautifully crafted bikes back then.

Lots of people go with the Lifan 125s.
The ct70 is much more reliable and collectible but is it faster? The kawi being a 2 stroke should be faster
Great race...both are my childhood favs!
When my dad was my age which is 13 he had the ct70!! Looks exactly like
Thst
That's pretty cool!
i told him to watch this video and he did!
+Orange | CSGO awesome! How did he like it?
+2vintage he said it was cool. sorry kinda late lol

i have a 1971 ct90 and its a beast
I had a friend who had a s90 street bike and we would take it on the trails and we'd do better than 50 with me and him both on it.
I can't tell you how many miles I put on my kv75. If it wasn't raining I was on that all around my neighborhood. My first bike. I was like 12 and I didn't know I was supposed to put 2stroke oil in it. I rode that for like 3 years with straight gas. Ran like a champ for the whole time.
Keep up the videos they are very entertaining and fun!!
Thanks a lot I will!
omg seeing that kid ride withh sandals on is like nails on a chalk board!!!!
Mad lad
A 2 stroke 75 is obviously faster than a 4 stroke 70
LoganThe MotoBro buddy ct 70 is literally from the 70s my dad had one and had all after market and it rips!
LoganThe MotoBro I
JCForLyfe 11 lol my dad also has one and I'm fixing it up
Thanks for giving it away asswhole
I agree
So i found a suzuki rm 125 for $150, seller says it needs engine work and is missing a few things. If i were to replace engine completely is that all id need to do? (Besides plastics and seat)
What year is the rm? And yeah I would just replace the whole engine if you have one at your disposal. That should take care of all problems.
Id basically be buying it for the frame and wheels, what would i need.
+Southern Hooligans if it is only the frame and wheels than you will need a cdi box coil, and airbox along with the motor.
+2vintage its a 1994
Arent you suppose to use the clutch if the bike is a manual at 2:37 you shifted into first gear without pulling in the clutch. Wtf?
Nice video and tell charley not to ride in sandals
Thanks lol I will tell him
2vintage when I was a boy my foot slipped and hit the ground when I was riding it took off all my toes
After 23 years I purchased mine back and was able to get it running over the weekend. Did you bypass the oiler and run premix?
No I am using the oil pump. Seems to be working great!
you all should have switched bikes & then rode them!!....that's for the next video! ty, i learned how to ride on a honda 70
4 stroke for the Win!! 💪🏻💪🏻
I got it running and it ran for about 4 days of me starting it everyday and the Kickstart locked up I think it's one of the Kickstart gears but I don't know
Man you blew it up
I know i can gst the same honda sticker as urs. But will it run the same as the honda vs the chineese.????
BSipp
That race wasn't close he had you beat
My 82 or 83 ct 70 would do 42-43 usually. My z50 would do 39-40 with proper gearing. The 50 wasn't street legal though.
I got a reading of 28.5 mph on my KV 75, so 27 isn't far off.
nice vid.
No way.. a 75 will do high 30s easily
what would the specific name for it be called the idler gear
Sorry I don't know
Hey you know a lot about dirtbikes can you suggest a bike that woul be good for im 4.6 feet tall weigh 70 pounds and have a little experience thanks and yes im a kid

Ballistic Pigeon ktm 65 sx
Harley Davidson Sportster 1200
Ballistic Pigeon cr80
Ballistic Pigeon ktm 65

Just Awesome!!! Good race!
Mario Ruiz thanks!
Those 69-73? Ct 70's and Z50's are the ones the collectors want.

Is the kawasaki st. Leagal???
Good video keep it up 196 more till 1000 keep the good content coming
Thanks a lot!!
I heard they are!! this is my first 2 stroke, me and my dad just rebuilt the top end then we started it, it ran then the Kickstart locked up
Well at least it's not too difficult to rebuild the top end! Hopefully you get it running right!
Are any of those 2 strokes
Yes, the Kawasaki
How much for the Honda
I rode a friends ct70 and I was doing about 45 gaining and I had to slow down because I was on the trails. It was a 4 speed with a manual clutch
why the weird hadle bars on the ct 70
Living that dat Honda life
i bought one of these for 115.00 in the 90s and rode it for 10 years until i got paralyzed
What year is the Kawasaki
wow , had both but my 70 could never beat my 75 !
like when few weeks
You need to do a race with a Tao Tao db 17 which is the bike I have
What is your favorite Brand?
Honda or Yamaha I think. I like them all haha
The Kawasaki looks stunning cruel
I want the ct70 how much?
$1000
+2vintage wonder if he still wants it. Lol
+Greg Schwartz I sold it for $900 a week ago
Wow that's pretty good
If both bikes were in prefect running condition and both riders weighed the same the KV 75 would be quicker.....hands down. Also I have two MT1's,2 KV's and a CT70.
Dave Kennedy used to jump a Kawasaki like that !
You said that you would ride the orange bike... There both orange hahah
lovin the vids
Thanks a lot!!!
is a rm125 good for a 12 yr old?
It will be quite big
You're not very bright 40lbs is a huge diff. Even more so on a little cc bike.
"Only 40 pounds"😂
do u like old bikes?
Yeah I do
Why didn't you trade bikes, I would think weight has something to do with it.
That Ct70 needs tuned but a 75 2 stroke should smoke it no matter what.
The KV75 was fast and should had been faster. But it was unreliable, weak gearbox and the brakes were horrible. But it was tons of fun and had a little bit of a power band when running right.
z50 vs kV shout out me Sunny on the video
But I'm still confused
hahaha
great race
i'll still take the Kawi
cool video man! yeah my went 40mph too!
Thanks and nice!
Turn the idle down on the 70 and lean how 2 ride ur big bikes better
cool I got a 1985 cr 125 it's a cool looking bike
Yeah I bet it's pretty fast too!
I love the look of the 1985's
had both miss the kaw.
ct 70 has a kinda high idle
Yeah a little. Any lower and it shuts off.
Oh, I see, probably jetting or something. :)
2:33 it sounds like my KX 65
Good video guys,ignore the negs they are idiots, love all your vids .
I didn't know those ct70s were worth so much I got 3 of them all original. I also have 3 ct50's. I might sell them all and buy a real nice bike
bee- ready yeah they are worth a lot of money if they are in good condition!
Hey how old is your brother
He is 13
+2vintage aw so am I man love your races
+Doni moto that's a lot! I'm glad you like them!
+2vintage I am soon to be getting a cr80
Dude weight makes all the difference in the world on those little bikes. 40 pounds is alot!! Typically the kawasaki will smoke it.
Fix the exhaust leaks on the Honda trail and you will do 50.
Nice race
I am 38years old and when I was a kid my next door neighbor had a 1974 ct70 his was green.we killed it and I mean we destroyed it
Tim Logan nice lol
every pound counts and 40 is a lot of them
Also obviously the 4 stroke won.
yes
Keep up the good work
Thanks man!
Those bikes are sick
Thanks man!
switch riders and the kv75 wins
that wasnt even close
That's a Honda for ya:)
Yep!
Sweet man nice bikes
Thanks!
I would buy the cr80 if you still have it
I sold the cr80 a while ago. The cr85 is now for sale though. Charlie wants a 125cc.
+2vintage how much
+2vintage my 70 2004 would only go 33 they. Just don't make things like they used to
+wyatt ventures $1200
+wyatt ventures and yeah I know! The older bikes were better quality.
Nice job
Thanks man!
It's tough to say
The looks of the Kow are similar to the mini trail 50. I'll bet the saki would smoke the honda.
u didnt givee shout out
Yeah in a few weeks I will.
Charlie should get a cr 125
Yeah thats what he wants to get!
yeah I want to see how fast a cr125 goes!
+D3lirious J4K3 yeah I do too!
2vintage now those are bitch'n bikes
I have a 2015 yz 250 and it is fast
Tim Logan Yeah I bet it is!
Has idle cranked to the max so it will run lol
I like the kawasaki how fast can that go??
BSIPP
Go Honda. I have one it would run 35mph down a dirt rd.
