Vehicle Description
This 1974 Honda XL70 is powered by a four-stroke 72cc single paired
with a four-speed transmission and finished in orange with black
graphics. Features include a cross-braced handlebar, raised
fenders, and enduro tires, a license plate bracket, and drum
brakes. A restoration is said to have been completed in the last
few years, and the bike has been kept on display since. The fuel
tank was refinished in metallic orange with black graphics, and the
side covers and scrambler-style fenders were painted to match.
Equipment includes a chrome grab rail, street lighting, a license
plate bracket, dual mirrors, and a side stand. The previous owner
states that new old-stock parts as well as reproduction items were
used in the restoration. Chrome wire-spoke wheels are mounted with
Bridgestone Trail Wing on-/off-road tires measuring 2.50-16 front
and Shinko 2.75-14 rear. Suspension consists of a conventional fork
and a rear swingarm mounted to dual shocks. Braking is from drums
at both ends. The tall chrome handlebar features a center
cross-brace and an ignition switch on the right. A single gauge
mounted above the top triple clamp includes a 50-mph speedometer
with neutral and high beam indicators, recommended shift points,
and a four-digit odometer showing 2063 believed actual miles. The
air-cooled 72cc four-stroke single features a single overhead
camshaft that helped it produce five horsepower when new. Power is
transferred to the rear wheel through a four-speed manual
transmission and a drive chain. Fun great looking little bike, fun
for the beginner/ pit bike or garage art.
