Honda CT description

1973 Honda CT70 with approximately 7500 miles. Exact mileage is unknown as I think the previous owner added a new speedo (Current 2762).
3 speed semi auto gearbox (no clutch).
Capable of 38mph with 190lbs person onboard.
Original Blue plate, and registration just recently renewed.
Clear title and Pink Slip in Hand.
Well looked after. 
I bought the bike and the motor was not running well. Since then it has had many new parts installed, and I brought it back to life.
Runs and idles great.
Ideal as a motor home/RV accessory, or just for fun in the summer to go to the shops on.
This bike attracts a lot of attention, and admirers.

New:
Mikuni 19mm Carburetor
Aftermarket cylinder head, piston, and barrel purchased from "T-Bolt USA" (orginal Honda ones included in the sale - need cleaning, minor work, and valves lapping)
Performance air filter and fuel filter
Spark Plug
Ignition points and alternator
Battery
Bridgestone Trail Tires

It's not perfect, but still in great overall condition as you can see by the pictures. 
Great fun to ride around town (as I have been). 
There are a few minor issues that need to be corrected if you are looking for perfection:
Exhaust is leaking slightly from a weld (needs re welding).
3 inch wide tear on the seat (original seat) at the back end.
Chain needs cleaning and re-oiling
Headlight bulb has gone, and I put a LED bulb in there as a temporary solution as they are sealed units.
Frame has some scratches

I'm selling the bike because I have just bought another new project bike, and only have space for one.

The vehicle will be sold as is, as seen by the buyer.
LOCAL PICK UP ONLY

Hero Honda Rebranded as Hero MotoCorp

Tue, 09 Aug 2011

Honda’s former joint venture in India has officially rebranded itself as Hero MotoCorp, revealing the company’s new logo and signaling the beginning of a new era for India’s largest motorcycle manufacturer. Formerly known as Hero Honda, the joint venture claims a share of nearly half of India’s two-wheeled vehicle market. Honda decided in late 2010 to end its 27-year partnership with India’s Hero Motors, buying out its 26% share for $855 million, about half the market price at the time.

2010-2011 Honda Shadow VT750 Recall

Mon, 13 Jun 2011

Honda has initiated a recall campaign for certain 2010-2011 Shadow series cruisers due to a problem with their bank angle sensors. According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the bank angle sensors may incorrectly read that the motorcycle is leaning. The bank sensor uses a weighted pendulum that swings into a motorcycle’s lean.

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

If you thought only Honda made lawn mowers, think again. Little known fact: Yamaha makes a limited supply of uber high-end grass cutters every year, and they even come with an operator. In this case, none other than former MotoGP champion, Jorge Lorenzo, seen here landscaping the grounds at the Valencia circuit.
