Honda C70's




It turns out that after we got the blue C70 running, it was the most fun to ride (compared to the ST-90 and the CT-70). So, Ron finds this red one on EBay and we make another road trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma and pick it up. Then he finds the yellow one locally in the Thrifty Nickel. So now, between us, we are in charge of a fleet of motorbikes. Soon to become an empire.

All three of these bikes are 1981 Honda C-70 Passports. They have a 72cc 4-stroke engine, 3 speed transmission with an automatic clutch, and a 6 volt electrical system. They are part of the Honda "CUB" family which are the most popular form of motorized transportation on the planet. They are rather rare in the U.S. though. Honda stopped importing them in '84, to make room for the US appetite for bigger & faster bikes.
