The '''Honda Minitrail CT70''' also known as the '''[[Honda ST70]]''' in Canada/UK was a 70[[cc]] [[Four stroke|4-stroke]], [[OHC]], [[dual-purpose motorcycle]] or larger than usual [[minibike]] manufactured by [[Honda]] from 1969 through 1994. The '''CT70''' shared the same engine with its taller cousin, the [[Honda CL70]] | The '''Honda Minitrail CT70''' also known as the '''[[Honda ST70]]''' in Canada/UK was a 70[[cc]] [[Four stroke|4-stroke]], [[OHC]], [[dual-purpose motorcycle]] or larger than usual [[minibike]] manufactured by [[Honda]] from 1969 through 1994.

The '''CT70''' served extremely well as an [[off-road motorcycle]]. Sometimes referred to as a '''Honda Dax''' it was distinguished by a pressed-steel "T-bone" frame, and equipped with folding handle-bars. It was small enough for children to enjoy, but powerful enough to get an adult through the most rugged of [[Trail riding|trails]]. Success of the '''CT70''' was due its appeal as an entry level street legal motorcycle as well as its portability and convenience. The compact CT70 weighs only about 143lbs and can easily fit into the trunk of a car once it's adjustable handle bars are folded down it's sides, and the footpegs are folded upwards. It was also one of the first in it's class to be marketed as environmentally friendly [[motorcycle]], being equipped with USDA approved [[spark arrester]]s / [[muffler]]s. | The '''CT70''' served extremely well as an [[off-road motorcycle]].
