Presented here is an extraordinary 1971 Honda CT70H, finished in
its original and highly coveted Sapphire Blue, and restored to an
uncompromising, collector-focused standard using genuine New Old
Stock (NOS) original Honda parts. This example represents a rare
opportunity to acquire a CT70H restored with an emphasis on
authenticity, originality, and long-term collectible value. The
CT70H is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Honda's early minibike
production. Unlike the semi-automatic CT70 models, the H variant
featured a 4-speed manual clutch transmission and high-compression
engine, delivering a more engaging riding experience and making it
the most desirable configuration among serious enthusiasts and
collectors today. Its compact design, folding handlebars, and
rugged trail-ready chassis helped define an era of recreational
motorcycling and introduced generations to the Honda brand. This
particular CT70H has undergone a comprehensive, factory-correct
restoration, with painstaking attention paid to period-correct
finishes, hardware, fasteners, and cosmetic details. Wherever
possible, original Honda NOS components were sourced and installed,
rather than modern reproductions. The result is a machine that
closely reflects how the motorcycle would have appeared when it
left the Honda factory in 1971. Notably, this CT70H has accumulated
only 2 miles since completion of the restoration, ensuring that the
bike presents in fresh, near-new condition and remains an
exceptional candidate for display, concours events, or inclusion in
a blue-chip Honda collection. To further enhance provenance and
transparency, photographic documentation of the original Honda NOS
parts used during the rebuild is included, offering rare insight
into the restoration process and providing collectors with
confidence in the authenticity and quality of the work performed.
