      Is THAT why I love my 70 so much?!? I Swear, I walk out to a fully stacked garage and when I see that mini, I'm riding it. Over a sports car, litre bike, 250R dirt bike...... The mini brings more joy to my soul than any other bike I own.

    You really bring out memories for me ❤ I had both a Honda mini trail 50 in gold metallic in 74 and stepped up to an XL 70 in orange with black stripe accents in 75' drove it to school in 77' at 16 years old. And a year later went with a Honda XL 100 at 17 years old in Red solid color. strange enough I think I miss the xl 70 the most. Insurance was only $59 dollars a year and cheap gas era at 56 cent's a gallon. Worked my tail off to buy these.

    Beautiful paint job and bike, would give any person many years of enjoyment whether they're just starting out, learning how to ride motorcycles, or they're a vintage motorcycle collector. Bike looks so good, that it's looks too good to ride. Thanks for all of the great videos y'all always post. ML&R
