Description

This is an absolutely beautiful, ully restored 1970 Honda CT70 Silver Tag. The bike was completely disassembled and repainted in its original Candy Ruby Red color. The 3 speed semi-automatic engine was torn down and rebuilt and is the engine that originally came with the bike. I purchased this bike from the second owner who stored it in a warehouse for the past 10 years. The bike was in very good condition with its original and unique silver tag parts intake.
