Anyone here into honda mini bikes? I have 3 CT70's, a first year XR75, & pair of Z50's. I have rebuilt several CT70'S in the past few years. I am currently working on a 1970 KO model.

I have an XL70 with a Lifan 125 engine. It needs to be rejetted to run correctly. I do have the original engine which is still workable.

Let me know if you ever want to part with the original engine. The 4 speed models are getting harder to find.

I've got a 73 Z50 and there's a guy here that does nothing but sell 70 parts.

I have a customer who buys & sells the CT70's on a regular basis. I do all his work for him. When I finish this KO model he will be bringing me an HK1 for restoration. I really enjoy working on them

My favorite CT 70. This one is a mostly original K4. I cruise the neighborhood on this on a regular basis.

I built this one for a friend of mine. It has a Lifan 150cc engine and is geared as tall as it can be geared. I tried to talk him into some bars that are a little wider but he likes it as it is.

I saw this one in Cannes last summer, there were quite a few of what we would call mini bikes on the street, seems to be normal transportation in Europe.

This "moped" was in Croatia, I wish I could have heard it! 8-)
