Revision as of 07:09, 3 October 2006

The Honda "Minitrail" CT70 minibike, sometimes referred to as a Dax, or a mini moto, is a small vintage Honda motorcycle with a 70cc engine. It was introduced in 1969 as an off-road motorcycle that was small enough for children to enjoy, but powerful enough to get and adult through the most rugged of trails.

Their success was largely in part due to their 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 arresters / mufflers.

Today, the Honda CT70 is largely a collectors item for vintage motorcycle enthusiasts. Many people who still own these bikes have made them their subject for a restoration project. There are still many websites that cater to mini trail bike owners by selling parts, offering technical help and giving users a place to talk about their beloved bikes.

Although it was discontinued in 1994, this bike, along with other Honda trail bikes such as the Z50, CT90, CT110 and ST90 was a true pioneer in it's day, and paved the way for all kinds of mini motorcycles and trail bikes for years to come.
