An H- model in driveable condition? For $700? I'll take 2 please. Sounds like a good deal to me. Looks good too! Nothing wrong with that.

Drew, I think $700 bucks for your bike is a good deal. The bike appears to be pretty clean and taken care of. The biggest deciding factor (to me) is if it's street legal and has a pink slip with current registration, if it is then I would say it could be sold for over 1k, easily.. The H's are worth more, for sure... But most folks that into H models like them in original condition with little or few modifications.

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like a 71' w/ a china 4-spd motor and exhaust. Not an H model.

If that's true, what Razzo said, $700 still doesn't seem bad to me. What if you wanted to buy a scooter of comparable performance to commute on? What you'd find for $700 would be Chinese and probably a little scuffed up, and harder to get parts for, and easier to break. That's a nice old-school-looking CT right there.

its actually the original engine i just put the china exhaust on cause mine had holes in it.. it has all numbers matching and pinkslip with plate and current registration.. it also has the original rack for the back with c70k1 stamped in it.. i changed the carb to a 20 mm for a little more power but still have all stock parts..

Very fair price.Hondas will almost always be worth what you paid for them.Bike looks to be good shape from the pic anyway.I found restoring old minibikes to be a fairly reasonable (financial) hobby compared to some things.My R/C airplane is gonna cost 3 to 4 hundred bucks to ungrade to new radios and misc,and I cant even ride it! lol
