Shouldn't even be riding them considering what they are worth, but as a guy says on a Honda 70 forum, "Ride 'em don't hide 'em!". I just about choke every time I look at the price of restored ones on EBay. And yes, they are TOUGH. One of them I just picked up, I thought was DOA, but I flushed the tank, new fuel lines, filter, carb kit, set the points, adjusted the valves and fired on the third kick. And then.... my wife laid claim to it. Oh well, at least she is out in the dirt with me.

Thought about picking one of those up as a project and saw a couple on CL cheap but I talked myself out of it. They are going for lot's o money fo sho.
I went to the Hot Rod Supernationals in Salem Ohio about a month ago and there were 4 guys tooling around on those CT-70's. Thought that was cool.

A lot of folks are picking those up for their daily riders so they don't have to get their garage queens dirty.
