I wish I grew up with one of those. You guys are lucky to have such a fun toy my parents would never lol. All I had was gi joes lol![]()
pretty sure thats where my Grom lust comes from LOL, best bike you could ever learn on...
The knock offs I have seen go for as low as $950 shipped to your door.I have seen pristine all original CT70 go for $6000 with a title and non runners with no title sell for as little as free.Just gotta be out there in the barns and sheds looking and hoping.

i wish... we were a bit on the poor side and the parentals were definitely anti-moto
and how boss did you feel while all the other boys were peddling themselves around you had some real gears to flip through LOL.I did, and my first bike was '73 Honda Z50, for my 10th birthday. Also had an xl75, along with the CT70.
Here's a picture of me and my brothers and two friends about to build a ramp, way way back in the day... maybe 25-30 years ago.

I want to find another one a fix it up for when I eventually have a kid, until then I can use it as a play thing, maybe scoot it down to the corner store or whatever.

We went through a bunch of atc's and such too but the 90cc Harley was my first two wheeler.

cool bikes where do you find parts for the older Honda, reason I'm asking is that I'm restoring this and it is a runner just a little dirty from being in the barn in Arizona then out in the weather after my EX and I got a divorce so I had to pick up the 1971 SL-125 where she had in stored in the weather out back side of her boy friend's house.My grom with my 1971 ct70 and my 1972 ct70. I also have a 1971 z50a and a 1971 ct70h

First I would like to say, nice collection!
I grew up on these.........
As a kid I bought a new baby blue SL-70, from mowing yards in Florida and with my dad's help which I payed back. I rode with friends in the dirt who also had the same and CT70's.
Later in life I had a candy red z50 which I was fortunate enough to have my uncle give to me and transported from Montreal Can to northern Ca.. Do you know what year this color model was made?
I rode this back and forth to Chico State going to school and around town. One night while at a calculus class I came out and it was stolen. Major bummer, I still have the keys and flywheel puller 34 years later.
I also owned a gold (not sure of color name) 1970 CT70H, and also a new yellow 3-speed circa 1979/80.
As I said in another post, the grom is like a CT70H on steroids but it has taken Honda 40 plus years to bring back this nostalgic ride.
Great post.......Andre
