Honda CT description

This is a 1970 Candy Sapphire Blue Trail 70 that has been restored correctly and has a clear CA title.

Frame: CT70-224133
Engine: CT70E-223595

The bike was painted by Mike Hogan of Vintage Honda Painting in Long Beach, CA.  It is a perfect Candy Sapphire Blue paint job.  The engine was built by Darrel Gunderson of Gunderson Restorations in Las Vegas, NV.  I had all the black parts powder coated, rebuilt the carburetor, had all the hardware re-zinc’d or purchased new Honda hardware, rebuilt the wheels, hubs and suspension and assembled the bike.  It has been test-ridden and everything verified working and adjusted.

This bike is correct for a 1970 Honda K0.  It is all Honda parts with the exception of a few items.  The seat, handlebars, and rear shocks are CHP.  The rest is all OEM Honda parts that have been re-chromed or re-finished correctly.  The only part I did not take a part and refinish is the speedometer.  In order to re-set them to zero you have to pry open the stainless trim ring and even though the gasket that seals the speedo to the headlight bucket covers that it’s impossible to put it back exactly as it was.  This speedo is very nice and the overlay colors were perfect.  I decided to leave it original.

The bike has 1.5 miles on it since it was finished.  I rode it around my neighborhood to seat the brakes and get the oil hot so I could adjust the clutch.  It is a new motorcycle!  Everything is new from the wiring harness to the fork seals and front suspension parts.  

It is ready to ride or display.  It runs and rides like a new motorcycle.  I’ve had a lot of CT70’s - I’m a huge fan of them.  This is as good as it gets in my opinion.

I’m keeping my reserve as reasonable as possible.  Please understand there is a lot invested in this bike. The paint and engine alone are $2,000.  Everything is new and if you are interested I will show you a spreadsheet of all the parts and the costs.  If you contact me I will be very open about the costs and what I’m trying to achieve.   Included with the bike is the is a one gallon ziplock of all the parts-bags used to build the bike. I will also include all the photos I've taken during the build.   I love this color and I’m super happy with how this bike turned out.  I’m building a Candy Ruby Red one identical to this next...same painter, same engine builder...same plan just a different color.

I have arranged shipping for a couple CT70’s in the past.  I recommend U-Ship for these small CT’s.  Please reply with any questions and I will contact you as soon as possible.

Thanks for your interest!

X-ray: Marquez's Suter Moto2

Mon, 22 Aug 2011

Learning in the quickest and most painful manner with some huge crashes, Marc Marquez has grown into a championship contender in his first year in Moto2. A debut win in Le Mans saw the rookie go on to win four races in a row and become a glaring orange nuisance in the championship peripherals of Stefan Bradl. As success has gone Marquez's way there have been complaints from riders of the same chassis that this is down to Suter giving the Spaniard preferential treatment.

Taylor Made Racing Testing Homemade Moto2 Racebike

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

Taylor Made Racing, best known for its underbelly exhausts for many of today’s popular sportbikes, is tackling perhaps its biggest challenge yet: designing and testing its own Moto2 machine. Assuming testing goes to plan, the team hope to enter as a wildcard entry in the Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP Grand Prix, Aug. 16-18.

Mystic Mac's 2014 MotoGP predictions

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

There is no real off season in Moto GP.  Although we complain about being starved of racing, for those at the sharp end, in little more than two months they have new bikes to assemble, team staff to put in place and sponsors to nail down that will pay for it all.  This time frame is also tight for riders, as it seems more every year go straight under the surgeon’s knife after the last round and spend the short winter recuperating for the season ahead. The 2014 Moto GP championship looks like a cracker as apart from the ten full factory riders we now have at least eight non factory riders with properly competitive machinery.  We also have five Brits on the grid, two with podium potential.  Whatever happens though (providing you have BT Sport) you can just sit back and enjoy watching the incredible Marc Marquez do things that shouldn’t be possible. Speaking of whom, I didn’t believe a Rossi replacement would come this soon.  And when I say replacement, I mean a rider that is the full package.  Although in some ways quite different to Vale, he’s an equally phenomenal talent plus a very likeable character that appeals to the masses and although respectful to his rivals off track, deadly competitive in the heat of battle.  Being young and good looking he’s obviously a dream for sponsors and the sport in general.  Marquez has evolved in his own way but thankfully into a perfect replacement for our sport when the VR steps down.
