Rebuilding a Honda CT70 Minibike | Bike Builds with Aaron Colton

[@ethansmith244]

I still have the 1971 CT70 my dad bought me as my first bike. I will never forget doing my first oil change on it at 9 thinking I was some genius and the many burns I attained by the exhaust. I need to go over and refresh it like it deserves after my many years of mud bogging and ratting the thing out. Not to mention it still starts on the first kick.

[@RedBullMotorsports]

So many memories have been made with the CT70!

[@AaronColton93]

So nice of the CT to give you some free Leg Tattoos. Give that 71 some love!

[@Camille-LG]

Waw, this CT is definitely a family member right now ^^ Congratulations for keeping is such a long time !

[@leksayt]

i have the 89 honda monkey

[@joemagalhaes1842]

I have my 72 same my father for my birthday Mine still runs abuts it’s worn out Somehow managed to not destroy it but doing a resto now also maybe 12-15 years ago a customer gave me his I believe 1969 or 70 that needs a lot but looking forward to getting them done

[@PlayerSalt]

Lucky kid to have a mum that will let her responsibly enjoy a great and wholesome sport Aaron made this look super easy, would make a great starter project if you want to go on to some bigger bike projects at some point

[@taringbabii]

at my place a lot of spare parts, I can help you find them

[@miftazalabdullah1376]

That garage looks like heaven 😌

[@e82jacob20]

bro breaks my heart you stripped such a good survivor paint

[@AaronColton93]

Custom builds are not for the faint of heart. It upset a few purists for sure.

[@oscarpallaresmedia21]

That's why I bought a crappy bare frame so I didn't ruin a clean looking one.

[@gymprofessor329]

Hurt me a bit too. Wish he sourced a worse frame

[@maxlvlnpcboss4812]

My dad had 2 trail 90s from the 70s with perfect patina on them but I was young and dumb and didn't know what they were.

[@saturdaynightfriday1636]

I have this same year bike in mint condition all original

[@mchristr]

The Trail 70 was the first two-wheeler I rode with a clutch. The late 60's and early 70's was an awesome time to grow up. Everyone in the neighborhood had mini-bikes.

[@StephenMartinez-ve1ey]

I remember the qa50 Honda as well as all the 1969 bikes I had a dealership East side Honda here in Detroit Michigan down the street from were we live.

[@brandonlewis2916]

I love that you actually show some riding after each of the rebuilds. so many people out there spend all this time to rebuild something forgetting that its begging to be ridden!

[@AaronColton93]

The seal of approval is literally the most important part. I am glad you enjoyed!

[@brandonlewis2916]

@@AaronColton93 It makes me want to do it to my DRZ! Thanks for the video

[@TimTheMusicMan]

I had one, greatest time of life when your on a motorcycle, no license, riding down the railroads tracks, not coming back.. cool family...

[@AaronColton93]

CT70 = Freedom

[@ryker2837]

I come back to watch this every other month, its such a well put together build and Aaron is just great at narrating.

[@Moondoggy1941]

My dad bought one of these and the Honda 50 model back in the 70's, we mostly ran the 50, the 70 was a torque monster. I was going up a big hill on the 50 and guy on a big bike said you will never make it up there I told him you just watch, I did make it up there. I love these bikes.

[@ejl822]

seeing a clean garage like that just make me happy!

[@Brucey23]

THIS!!!!!!

[@HiCountryGC]

Did my '81 CT70 restore about 5 years ago. Put about 1100km on it since then and every time I ride it someone offers to buy it from me! Glad to see another one restored and back on the road guys!

[@sepppe0484]

here in belgium alot of 16 - 18 year olds drive those around, they are 50cc tho. you dont see them alot anywhere else in the world its cool to see you rebuild one i have one too

[@TheGreatEscape77]

Congrats man youve built a beautiful bike and life! You dont know how lucky you are to have a great career, great home and family who supports you

[@nme1605]

Still at it.... I love seeing this. Congratulations on all of your success, Aaron!

[@AaronColton93]

Thank you buddy! I hope all is well. To this day remember the first day I went to the ATL spot and your where absolutely flying on the front wheel.

[@ReddingCT70]

Nice job Aaron great to see young blood creating there builds. Its hard to believe but these bikes are more popular today than ever. Keep it going Rick

[@Tyrian0101]

Another masterpiece out of Garage 93, please allow Aaron to keep doing these!

[@AaronColton93]

Thank you! Deeper and Deeper with every build!

[@maikdeutscher4528]

My dad owns a CT50G which sit for about 22 years in the garage. After some carb cleaning and a oil change it runs perfect ! Still there is plenty to do but it's good enough for now.

[@BossMavz]

Mine is still sitting at my garage waiting to be brought to life again.. planning on a resto mod after seeing this.. thank you..

[@sarahdell4042]

If that’s the old formula of the aircraft stripper, prepare for disappoint the next time you need to purchase it! Build turned out great!

After riding a dax for 2 years i can tell you you can more atention on the street riding a dax than riding any other bike. Litterly everyone loves it

[@treya8685]

Love all these videos from Aaron and garage 92. Talk about a role model not to mention an awesome Dad!

[@-Just_Justin-]

Beautiful scooter!!! I do things like this regularly but I can not get over how great the video quality side of things with this build. Beautiful garage, excellent documentation throughout the entire process and best of all the most organized and cleanest garage ever to work in.

[@vk7073]

Its not scooter its moped

[@-Just_Justin-]

My apologies "moped"

[@joel-hw3dw]

In belgium these bikes are everywhere (even i have one). It's one of the most popular choices for a 50cc

[@AaronColton93]

I wish there was the 50 here as well for the Moped License but win win either way.

[@mathish.8169]

i live in belgium and i have one

Just an FYI , Ct 70s have 2 piece rims so you dont need to use a tire bar or risk screwing up the bead with a screw driver. Four 10mm nuts with an impact driver and bob's your uncle.

Sooo stoked you did a CT

[@Drew-pe3os]

My cousin had a Honda dax it was made into a 80 cc with i think it had a 125 carburetor speed way handle bars a huge open mega phone race pipe it was so loud and very fast it had a very deep sound with a very deep blow back ported polished total rebuilt engine. Have a look at this 1976 XR-75 race pipe on u tube in this car park look at thirtyonegun on u tube. Thats just nearly that loud as that XR-75 got . I was told once that some honda dax's had CDI ignition and they flew on the dirt track.
