This 1971 Honda CT70 Trail is a Candy Ruby Red-finished example that is said to have remained registered to the original owner in Montana prior to being acquired by the seller in 2014. Powered by a 72cc four-stroke single paired with a three-speed semi-automatic transmission, the bike has an aftermarket rear sprocket, 10″ three-piece wheels, drum brakes, chrome fenders, a rear luggage rack, twist-locking folding handlebars, an upswept exhaust system, an inverted fork with gaiters, and a black seat.
Work since 2023 reportedly consisted of replacing the air filter, headlight bucket, chain guard, spark plug, battery, seat cover, and frame graphics. This CT70 Trail is now offered in Washington at no reserve on a bill of sale.
The hollow T-bone frame is finished in Candy Ruby Red and received replacement Honda decals in 2023. Color-matched components include the chain guard, fork covers, swingarm, and headlight bucket, and the two-up seat is trimmed in black. Brightwork includes the exhaust heat shield, rear luggage rack, and fenders, and additional details include passenger footpegs, reflectors, trail lighting, and a side stand. The seller states the headlight bucket, chain guard, and seat cover were replaced in 2023.
The silver 10″ three-piece wheels wear older Nitto tires. Suspension consists of an inverted fork with rubber gaiters as well as dual shocks mounted to the swingarm, and braking is handled by drums at both ends.
The twist-locking folding handlebars frame a Nippon Seiki 50-mph speedometer that displays recommended shift points. The five-digit odometer shows 3,400 miles, approximately 100 miles of which were added under current ownership. Wear is visible on the cables.
The 72cc four-stroke single transfers power to the rear wheel through a three-speed transmission with an automatic clutch and a drive chain. An aftermarket rear sprocket was installed under prior ownership. Service since 2023 is said to have included changing the oil in addition to replacing the battery, spark plug, and air filter.
The bike does not have a title and is being sold on a bill of sale only.
