In my continuing effort to streamline my fleet, I have decided that, in addition to selling my Miata, I am also going to sell two of my Honda Pit Bikes, a 71 CT70 Mini Trail and a 2009 Honda Ruckus.
You may have read about the CT 70 here: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/71-honda-ct70-mini-trail-vintage-pit-bi...
It's a 1971 CT70 K0 ("K-Zero"), the earliest version and most collectible series. It has a three speed transmission with an automatic clutch. I took it apart this spring, cleaned up the chrome, sandblasted the wheels, painted the wheels and hubs, added new tires, new handlebars, new battery and new carb. The paint is original and there are no dents on the frame. Good original seat. The chrome is nice but not perfect and it runs good. Almost every part is available new for these and they are highly collectible. I had a blast tearing around my yard on it all summer. $1300.
The Ruckus is a 2009 that I bought this summer. There was a huge demand for these and the dealers were selling out before they arrived. It is 49cc and doesn't need to be registered or insured in many states. It only has 275 miles on it and gets 100 miles per gallon. The only modification from stock is relocation of the turn signals to where the reflectors were. I removed the mounting tabs, ground things smooth and painted the front rack with the correct ($$) Honda paint. I paid $2500 a few months ago and will sell it for $2000. You can get a scooter that's like new without having to pay sales tax, dealer prep and delivery fees. It's still under warranty.
