The 1971 Honda CT70 Trail is a museum‑quality example of Honda’s iconic mini bike, having reportedly remained with its second owner in a museum until 2016. This careful preservation means the bike is in exceptional condition, finished in the classic Candy Ruby Red that has become synonymous with the CT70 series.
Power comes from Honda’s bulletproof 72cc four‑stroke single, paired with a three‑speed transmission and an automatic clutch. This combination makes the CT70 incredibly easy and fun to ride — simply twist the throttle and shift without a clutch. The kick starter fires up the engine with minimal effort, and the Keihin carburetor ensures crisp throttle response and reliable performance.
The chrome upswept exhaust system adds a touch of classic style while enhancing ground clearance. The 10″ three‑piece wheels and chrome fenders contribute to the bike’s iconic appearance, while the full suspension system — including a conventional fork and rear shocks — provides a comfortable ride on trails and uneven terrain.
The twist‑locking folding handlebars are a signature feature of the CT70, allowing the handlebars to fold down for compact storage or transport. The black vinyl seat offers comfort for the rider, and the trail lighting ensures visibility in low‑light conditions.
Recent service in March 2025 included setting the ignition and timing, adjusting the valves, changing the oil, and replacing the spark plug and air filter — ensuring this CT70 is in excellent running condition. Offered with a tool kit, this 1971 CT70 Trail is a perfect addition to any collection of classic Honda mini bikes.
