1970 Honda CT-70 Trail 70: Best trail bike or weirdest?

- Probably the most unique, and most important bike in my fleet is the 1970 Honda CT-70, Trail 70.
This bike has been in my family since the 70's and preserved (non-running) in a shed residing at our summer cabin in Upstate New York for many years before we dragged it down to Florida, attempted to get it back running, and failed. This was before the days of finding parts easy on the internet, so we brought it back to NY in hopes a family friend (and motorcycle restoration specialist) could work some magic on it. Long story short, we could never get it running right until this year when I took it back home to my shop here in Florida, bought a whole bunch of replacement parts from CHP, swapped out the old ignition components, and got it running as good as it's ever ran! Today I enjoy it as a neighborhood and backyard run-a-bout and as you can see from the video, definitely still use it as it was originally intended to be used!
I watched the whole video jealously. You are living someone's dream man. Keep em coming.
Love to hear this! I have MUCH more to offer too 👌
@@John5XR Awesome!
I love my trail 70 so I got another and then the first ones wires got messed up brand new to and now I don’t know how to fix them because the manuscript for them looks to confusing.
Is your max speed 30mph
Good to see the old bikes still rolling. I have a friend who has a 1974 ST90 that's been sitting for decades, I beg him to sell it to me and he won't. I have offered way too much money and he won't sell, or get it running. Very frustrating. Keep up the good videos
They’re cool to ride too! My favorite is the 77’ Z50 I’ll feature in an upcoming video
I had one..great bike. Thanks for this video
Classics!
Dude! I just got (from family) a 1970 ct70 and a 73 z50 a few months ago and just get em goin after years of sitting with minimal effort! I need to do some carb adjustment on the 70 but these things are amazing!
I learned to ride the 50 at 4 years old, i guess in '87 and it still gets me giddy when i get on it! Now getting my girls into riding with me for now with hopes theyll be ready to tear it up on their own soon!
Great video good job! I have the exact same bike
My grandpa has one and I have sm fun on that thing man
Best bike I have ever owned , I couldn’t kill it
That’s awesome, can’t even find a frame locally in my area of Idaho, but I do have a monkey and despite the crappy phone mic even made a video XD, maybe soon I’ll get a ct70 or st90 frame and build it up! Awesome collection keep the vids coming!
All the ones I see are either junk or prestine here in Florida, so I’m lucky to have a used, but fair condition bike to have fun with and not feel bad about riding hard. I’ll check out your vids, thanks for watching!
Cool stuff Subbed for more small bore goodness!
Thank you and there’s tons more to come!
How did I miss this video? I don’t think its the best trail bike ever. The CT90 is the best trail bike ever.
I should clarify, the best trail bike that I’ve ever ridden ever 😂🤷🏼♂️
my dad folded the handle bars down, put it in the trunk of the car and he would take us out to a place to ride
that's awesome! Exactly what they were designed to be used for too
cool bike! These are great bikes, I own four st70's, Eu version of the ct70. I have posted videos of them if you are curious.
Wish i had a son that was into bikes ... All i have is a video game , cellphone junkie ...
It’s a slippery slope these days with the alluring instant stimulation of screens. Sometimes all it takes is triggering an interest from a fun experience (like going to a Supercross) or taking them for a ride on a motorcycle. For mine, it was both, as from a year old he was always sitting and playing on my pit bikes in the garage, which lead to me putting motocross on tv, then to getting him a balance bike. It snowballed from there obviously! Lol
I feel you.
Same here.
I try to get him into my interests and I try to get into his.
Not a lot of success either way.
But all we can do is respect their individual selves. Life is too fcking short to be caught up on bs.
My son is in remission from cancer thank God, but that sht really puts things in perspective man.
Makes me thankful for just being able to hang out with him no matter what we are doing.
Anyways PEACE!
@@jupitercyclops6521 I would recommend camping with him, I really connected with my dad when we camped. Make sure there's no data where you're going ;)
Fun little video. Factory tires or 50-year-old tires?
Factory Bridgestone and 50-years old! Tubes can’t be original, but are still going strong and holding air too!
Man, get rid of that backrest. This is no chopper.
It helps with wheelies 👍
It's neither. It is definitely the most overrated and overpriced motorcycle ever made however.
Not even remotely true.
