Honda CT description

This is a nice and all original Candy Gold CT70 K0 with clear AZ title.

Frame: CT70-190563
Engine: CT70HE-190204
Engine and frame are 359 numbers apart indicating the original engine

This bike is very complete and and has all the things I look for in a CT70.   The paint is excellent except for a small area behind the rear brake and on the swing-arm where some battery acid damaged it.  Otherwise, this paint is as good as I’ve seen on an original gold bike.   The chrome is in excellent condition.  This bike is from central California and does not have any corrosion, discoloration, or pitting on the chrome.  All the hardware is original and in place.  The wheels are original paint and look good.  The original tool kit is under the seat.  The handlebars are are straight 

Everything works and it runs super strong.  It rides great too...straight and smooth and it shifts correctly.  The only issue is that it smokes at start up.  This clears up after about 30 seconds or once the engine is warm.  It has as much power as any K0 CT70 I’ve ridden and the engine sounds perfect.  I’m almost certain it’s the piston rings causing the smoke at start-up.  Also, the exhaust has a pinhole in the usual spot where the chrome guard mounts to the pipe up front.  Based on those two issues I am keeping the reserve price very reasonable for a K0 this complete and cosmetically excellent.

I have arranged shipping for a couple CT70’s in the past.  I recommend U-Ship and can share my prior experience here if needed.  Please reply with any questions and I will contact you as soon as possible.

Thanks for your interest!

McGuinness Tests Mugen Shinden Electric Race Bike

Thu, 22 Mar 2012

Isle of Man TT veteran John McGuinness recently got a chance to test the new Mugen Shinden electric rice bike to prepare for the 2012 TT Zero. The test took place at the Twin Ring Motegi in Japan, a world-class racing circuit but perhaps not-coincidentally, a track built and owned by Honda, further fueling the belief the Mugen effort is a front for the Japanese manufacturer. The Honda-contracted McGuinness put the Shinden through its first big test, helping the Mugen team gather data on the electric racer.

Remember push starts?

Alongside the most stunning collection of race and road bikes at their Motegi museum, next to some race bikes, Honda also has a step by step guide on most aspects of riding. I photographed the wonderful text on push starting but I also have lots of equally hilarious instructions on cornering braking and even what a riders goal should be. Watch this space...... oh, and hopefully see you at the NEC over the next ten days!  

Pedrosa, Marquez, Bradl Talk About Racing, Motorcycles, And Each Other

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

In order to use footage from a Dorna-sanctioned MotoGP test session — say, for marketing or promotional reasons — a team must receive approval from Dorna. The process is tedious, and even if permission is granted, there are strict limitations as to what the material may or may not be used for. So when Honda decided to conduct its own private test (which Yamaha also joined), at the Circuit of the Americas, it was free from any and all Dorna mandates.
