Due to unforeseen circustances, i need to sell this wonderful beast before i've even got chance to use it properly.
so, here goes... a 1980 Honda C70 (round headlamp type), fitted with a late 80's C90 CDI loom, running 12 volts electric, CDi and all modern electronics, Cub90 swingarm, CG125 shocks, brand new Conti Go 250/275 tyres, C50LA clutch lever, all built with either new or reconditioned parts, running a brand new clutched 4 speed lifan 140cc 12 bhp engine with a derestricted CDi unit and built to look as totally stock as possible. it runs a C90 front exhuast pipe with a straight through 50 silencer for original looks but open pipe performance. this is a really well put together bike and no the usual pile of parts that looks really smart and tidy. rides really nicely and now has 12 months MOT but no tax (yet!!). the only thing that to date i haven't got around to is the rear arch needs some paint as its in primer after i had some rust repairs done professionally when i built it. by the time i sell it however this may have been done. a brief description does not do this bike justice and even the price i will accept for it is substantially less than it cost to build let alone is you consider man hours. i build it almost 100% with stock parts from various models to make it easy for repairs in the future (spec sheet included in the sale). although i don't plan on selling this for a few months i will let it go sooner if needed so its a posting to see if anyones game enough to take on the beast.
Please email or call me on 07770 970097 for more information or photos.
LOOKS LIKE A C70, GOES LIKE A MADMAN...
cost over a grand to build, accept £600 ono.

This how it works
you get the cheque, while it is clearing you get loads of emails a day asking you to money transfer the balance to them, the cheque clears, then a few minutes later, it bounces.
