Everyone had either a Honda 50 mini trail, or a CT 70, in my neighborhood, except me. I inherited my brother's YamaDog DT 100. Great memories
I had an XR75 ...good bike. The I got a YZ80..then a KX80! The '85 KX80 was heads & shoulders above all else. The YZ80 was very old tho! I'm a YAMAHA & Kawasaki guy to this day.
@@Davido50 We had an old retired man named Mr Taylor who fixed lawnmowers, motorcycles, small engine repair. He had a YZ 80 and a couple Sears mini bikes he'd let us borrow while he fixed ours. That thing would fly, he had bored it out and tuned perfectly. We had it made but didn't know it. Wish I could turn back the clock.
I had the SL 70 great first bike
I remember Joel, same in my neighbor hood all the kids who had briggs& stratton mini bikes rolled into ct's or sl's in the early 70's. Great memories too 🤝
First gear alright,second gear hold on tight...... Rock on, y'all know the rest of the song, AFFASTA Groovy little SKOOTA
I remember taking my 1st motorcycle driving test on a CT70H in 1972, all that was required by the CA DMV back then was that the bike being used had to have a manual clutch.
The rest is history some 50 years later! I will be 65 this summer.
Cool survivor bike pictured here!
With the price of gas these days , people are going to be driving bikes like that everywhere
Oh, man. That takes me back. My dad got me a green one of those when I was 8 back in 89. I remember him fixing it up and being so excited. I put a lot of hours on that thing.
I Got A One Around 72 At Christmas Love It, Sitting On It To Day Lite....
When my daughter was 9 I bought her a C/T 70. When she was married and moved out, the Honda stayed. I still ride that little bike.
I had one when I was a kid 1980 and I remember I could get a top speed of 25mph. I had the 3 speed auto. I used to jump the bike in a field where there was a berm. Field is gone now, there's a BIGO tire shop and gas station.
Fill that baby gas tank for under a dollar back in 1980 Lol. Memories.
That is the first bike I ever owned, same year, color and all. My dad got it from a co-worker in the mid 90's and got it running for me to learn to ride. Starting with a clutch straight away was the best thing I could have done. never had to struggle learning it later like my friends did. Gave it away year's later to a friend once the engine was worn out. Had I known how rare these would become, especially the H models, I would have kept it! Couldn't give these away in the 90's when I was growing up. Crazy how things change.
My first motorcycle was a yellow Honda 50 with the folding handlebars. It was bulletproof...never any problems with it. My Dad gave to a friend of his and then bought me a silver XR 75. From there I traded up to a Honda MR 175. Love your channel...it's brought back so many great memories.
Those little bikes are a blast to ride.
I love how they put the gas tank under the seat that used to always freak out All of my friend's 👍
The CT70 was a bullet proof motorcycle. Our friends motorcycles were always broken while our CT70 kept right on trucking.
I had the topaz orange bike that he mentioned here that went for $12k....wow. I should have kept mine. Dad bought it new for $349 plus tax in April of 1971. It was sold in 74 for $150. Had a few dings on it, but was in good shape. I'd love to own another one. I'm 66 now. I was 13 when I got mine. Had a lot of good times riding...great memories.
My god, what a GEM! We had the BEST toys back in the day!
Wanted to thank you Ken..
Sitting in Daytona for the first time!
Heading to the Monster supercross tonight.
Having the best vacation of my life.!
Took you advice and you were right
I love Daytona, been going every year since for many decades. Aunt Catfish is a great place to eat at. I highly recommend Ocean deck also. Down the Hatch at Inlet Harbor was excellent for many years and then took a downhill turn but seems to be doing good again. A lot of Daytona race car drivers have been there and left autographed pictures. Watch the boats come in as the sun sets and listen live music that is usually really good.
I learned on a gold one (3spd)…man what a blast ! Talk about memory’s….
Ken show the folks how the handlebars fold down for shipping or a trip in the trunk of a car. Fuel shuts off and i remember mine didnt leak when it got a ride to the cotttage in the trunk of moms car. This bike was my 2nd motorcycle after my Z-50A mini trail got stolen.
Love your videos btw....great memories of my Trail 70. 51 years later and im riding an FZ-1 Yamaha....once you get motorcycling in your blood....its there forever !! Love what you folks do at the New England Motorcycle Museum !!
My first bike was a 1970 trail 70 orange. I believe the year was 1982, fun bike every kid in the neighborhood crashed it learning to ride, kept on going. I think because most crashes took place in 1st gear it saved it.
I had that exact model/ color in 1972, my dad bought new for $349.
That exhaust guard was not OEM for 1972, it was 71 or earlier. Beautiful bike.
Hey folks, this is Carl your New England Motorcycle Museum Curator.. Normally I would have much more to say, but for this I have only 2 words... MUSEUM QUALITY!!
How it all started for me in 1974. Still have my ct70hko from many years. Restored it in 1999 original paint candy topaz orange. My neighbor got a xr 75 in 74 was a game changer but the ct lasted the test of time.I still have two 80cc poweroll kits I never used ,ha ha
That was the first mini bike I learned to drive, some great memories.
Best Christmas present I ever got !
That was my dream bike when I was a kid
Hondaaaaaa hondaaaaaa!!!!!🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷👋👋👋👋👋👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌👌👌👌
Thanks Ken & JR & Crew. We love you.
I had the same Honda CT70 mine was the K2 model with the yellow honda logo & blue behind the letters :) mine had 450 original miles & I put 1,882 miles on it!!!!
This was the very first dirt bike that I have ever owned I had the Honda trail 70 blue model I loved that little bike 👍 had a lot of fun on that little bike 😎👌
We need a wheelie!
I still have tons and tons of little Honda 90CC and below parts but nothing is more convenient than having tons of Honda 70 parts 😵💫
Love these little pumpers
I'm about to pick an original 1970 CT70H.. can't wait.. might pick up a silver tag the man has also
Had one of those new when they first came out. Great bike- what a blast as a kid. Took me a long time working any job I could get to buy it :)
My first bike was a CT70 in third grade. I loved that little bike!
I had one of those in the late 1970s at my parents summer home..
Great times I rode that thing for hours a day on all kinds of trails.
The thing was bullet proof never had a single thing go wrong with
it and I was rough as all hell on it...
It's all there ! Great bike, thanks for the video update 👍.
Good morning to you guys as well. This was a great jumpstart to the weekend.
Well, hot diggidy, i been Kaplan'd today .. never even knew there was such a thing as a CT70 clutched model !!
Bendiciones muchas gracias por alegrarnos el día con los fantásticos videos muy interesantes cada día, tenía tiempo de no ver ese modeló de honda pero muy fuerte el chasis espectacular 👌saludos 🤝🇵🇦
Would be a seriously smart move for Honda to bring them back,what a unit 💪❤👍
If they made this today, exactly the same quality as the original, it would cost $10,000.
brought it back, they have the Dax 125 CC mini trail but they haven't shipped it to the states yet, with the competition of the Honda Trail 125 and the Grom and the Honda Monkey they have bright
Man you get to play with the coolest old bikes everyday. Living the dream my friend. I’m lucky I’ve gotten to buy fix ride and sell 80% of the ones that come around my area, I just hate selling them!! Wish I could keep them all. Maybe I’ll get them back in heaven lol. Godspeed!
Sold my 4H cow and bought the blue one! My start to Honda addiction lol. 50 years strong!
Sweet lil Machine....
We run the fn wheels off that lil 70 that's awesome thanks for sharing brother
Qe reliquia x dios son hermosas yo ni nacía ese año tengo la imitación de las daxs un sueño son 👍
Ha ha ken looked feckin huge on that little honda, god bless America.
The funniest thing with these bikes is THEY ABSOLUTELY NEED THE BATTERY!!! Even if it’s dead! It completes the circuit 🧿
Sounding Healthy!!! Big throwback!!!
I’m a kid again!!😃 Thanks! Outstanding condition.
Hope you're doing well your videos are amazing all the details that you guys explain about the different box that's a neat little bike I made it rings back some memories for yourself I don't know if you remember the Honda qa250 I had one of those those were pretty cool little bike have a good day
First bike I ever had, it’s actually a miniature super Moto😂 Had a blast on it jumping and everything else
the 4speeds are great
Just like mine I paid a dollar/CC bought it from a li'l neighbor girl back in '73 in mint condition can't believe how much $$ it's changing hand for today 😯
I never knew about the "H" model...sweet!
Eric in NC
I had a red 72 CT 70 for my first bike! It was automatic though.
I got a 74 CT70, fun bikes
Sweet, I had the Honda Chaly Cf70 my uncle gave me.
One of the funnest bikes I’ve ever owned
I remember Rocky Point Park security guards use to ride those.
I owned this Honda 70. Wish I kept it.
What a lekker little bike, especially around a campsite. should never have sold mine.
Good morning yall! I hope you all have a good one!
Mint ! I have an SS _50-ZE
You guys got anymore XR’s or XL’s in yet?
My 21 300l has bent bars already 🤣 … What a bike that is 👍💪
Love it !
great bike....Handlebars may be Repro. too....look a bit longer than stock
Bellina !!!! Motoooo🇺🇸🇺🇸
Are the shocks original?
Nice one!! 😍
Everyone have a bless day❤️❤️🙏
About the time of this bike, Honda made a trail motorcycle, I think a 100 or a 125, and they came in blue and red.
Can anyone remember what model I'm sort-of remembering?
If gas keeps going up you might start seeing Alot more little trail bikes being ridden to work and around town more than ever.I'm already seeing a few more 250 street legal trail bikes on the road than normal.You could ride The Honda SL 100 I had when I was 11 years old on the road.It would run 63 mph on flat ground and probably got around 70mpg.Although it was meant to be a trail bike it was street legal,even had a place to a license plate if you wanted to ride it on the road.
I ride mine to work now! Its about 1.35$ to fill up the tank😂😂
@@brostapho4332 When I was working part time while going to High School I had a Yamaha DT 400 trail bike that was street legal that I rode to work.
That was a bad a$$ minibike in its day. 70cc, 4 speeds and a clutch.
My first ride at 9 years old was a Kawasaki "Coyote" 50 cc 2 stroke. I'd love to see one of those again.
I think we met years ago did u ever have black betty as a ringtone on your phone? Im an electrician and i think i wired your house a long time ago
I have an all original 1972 H model as well. Is it me or your exhaust is wrong for your year? Looks like it has a 71' exhaust. Also you're right you have aftermarket fenders front&rear. I know because I had the same fenders and it bugged me so I bought oem ones on ebay. I like your bike!!
They just keep blowing my mind with these bikes.....I could go to garage sales from now til the next millennium and never find anything but piles of junk
You can’t ride that bike cross country ken an you know this MAN !!! Lol
Is it still for sale, beautiful
The monkey reminds me of this! Awesome bike!
So, no Ken Sr. signature Wheelie?
i wanted to see sr send it up the mini bike hillclimb lol
I had an H. Had. Sad thing to admit. I should have kept it. I'd give it to my grandson.
Those things go for $5k on Hemmings auctions..
Rare bird, nice. It's the predecessor to the new Monkey 125cc.
Wow, used have a plastic model of this bike, back in the 70's. Would spend HOURS pretending I was actually riding it in my room.
I hear Honda is making these again. But in 125. Great bike.
Yes it is called a Honda 125 FC Dax, but they may not bring them to the US because of the Trail 125 FC
👍
People get really weird about original parts. Yes, I want most of it original. Things I’d rather have upgraded: carb, sprockets, chain, piston, ALL SEALS AND GASKETS, seat if it’s even slightly mashed, cables, brake pads, tires, tubes, bearings, clutch.
How much is the 1972 Red CT 70 H 4 speed manual transmission Honda ?
KaplockNload!. GETTYSBURG EXPRESS0!.
Need the clown suit on that
Sooooo, I can't afford it. 😂 Beautiful bike!
You still want to go to Aspen? Got room for one more. I get 70 miles to gallon on this hog!!!
Well,you redeemed yourself 😁
Funny thing is the OEM Honda piston is far from the best piston you can get today. Not that it matters if it’s tuned properly it’ll outlast most of us.
The original owner must have kept it in his bedroom for 40 years
I had a weird color blue one with automatic clutch I rode the shit out if it for years…
If I sell my house and move next door to you, can I help test ride all your motorcycles when they come in?
:D
Kaplan cycles!!! .. I need to sell my 1983 ktm 495 to buy a car ASAP!!!
The seat looks like it came from a 1973.

Are we going to see some videos from Daytona?
Oh yes!!!
