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.

That thing looks awesome! I would totally buy one of those. Are they really expensive now, or can you get it for pretty cheap?

I can see why people who grew up with one of these would want a Grom. The Grom is like a Honda Trail 70 for the 21st century.
There are several on eBay, check it out!

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 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.

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.

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

I always wanted an ATV or dirt bike growing up. We were middle class and lived on an acre of land, my parents probably could have afforded one but I think they were more afraid for my safety so I never got one.

I thought I was pretty close to getting one of these one time.
