Honda C70 description

You are bidding on a very clean vintage bike.  What makes this bike so special is it's unbelievably low mileage.  Odometer currently reads between 142.6 and 142.7 miles (as pictured).  This was purchased from a Honda dealership.  Apparently they took it in on trade sometime ago, and it's collected dust since.  The dealer told me either one, or both of the tires were replaced at some point.  The front tire is a Cheng Shin 2 1/4 x 17 (which is how it's printed on the tire) and the rear is a Inoue 2.5 x 17.  You can verify which is not original, but both still have the rubber hairs on them and look like new.  The battery was dead when I got it.  As you know, this is a 6V system.  I was fortunate to have the EXACT original NOS Honda battery for this bike in my NOS inventory.  I filled it with acid, charged it, and it works perfectly and is installed in this bike.  The NOS box is pictured, as well as a picture of the battery installed.  How much better does it get than that?  I cleaned the carb, and this bike fired right up, runs and has been test driven,  I am not an expert on these bikes, as I refer larger bikes, but the only thing I know not to be original is the tires I mentioned previously.  I did my best to take pictures, but if you have any questions, or want to set up an appointment to inspect or test ride for yourself, I can be reached via Phone or Text at 716-481-7442. 

Some key points:
- The key is original
- The battery is an EXACT NOS match for what came in this bike from the dealer
- Original Mirrors
- All lights & switches work
      - Gauge backlight & Neutral bulbs were replaced
      - Horn Works
      - Electric Starter works
      - Headlight High/Low works
- All factory stickers/warnings seem to be in place & intact (I tried to capture them all in pictures, but please verify for yourself)
- No rips or tears in seat
- Original Rubber
     - Grips/Pegs, etc all are intact and seem to be in good shape, no cracks, etc...
- Inside of tank is clean
- Exhaust is original, no holes or concerns

Imperfections:
- Cracks by both bolts on upper side of fairing (as pictured)
- Minor oxidation on mirrors/racks

Again, don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or to setup an appointment for inspection.  Please understand, this bike is FOR SALE locally as well.  Therefore, I reserve the right to end the auction at any time!

Happy Bidding!

What's instore for the 2011 MotoGP season. Anticipation for exciting racing that's more likely to be largely dull, one-horse races. Here are the Visordown predictions for the top three this year: Ben Cope: Stoner Lorenzo Pedrosa James Whitham: Stoner Lorenzo Rossi Niall Mackenzie: Pedrosa Rossi Spies Mark Forsyth: Stoner Spies Lorenzo Robin Goodwin: Stoner Pedrosa Spies Barring Mackenzie and his far-out choices, it's a unaminous Visordown support for Casey Stoner on the Repsol Honda.

Did you get your bike serviced at George White Slough?

Thu, 18 Aug 2011

Unfortunately, The George White branch at Slough has closed which means the sales, clothing and servicing departments are all gone. I got to know a few of the guys there as they're local to me and helped put my 848 Challenge bike together. If you used to get your bike serviced there, you might wonder where you can now go to get it done.

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

American Honda announced several models returning for the 2014 model year with no changes save for a couple of new color options, but the same pricing as 2013. These 2014 model announcements include Honda’s 750cc Shadow cruisers, its 1300cc customs, the entry-level 250cc Rebel cruiser and the XR650L dual-sport. Those waiting for more substantial changes will have to wait a bit longer for more 2014 Honda announcements.
