Honda launched the ST50, ST70 and CT70 in August 1969 and production ran into 1981. A key feature of the ST70 is the T-bone pressed steel frame that distinguishes it from the Gorilla and the Monkey-bike. As a general description, the ST-series bikes have a bench-style saddle, small fat tyres, and folding handle bars. They have an air-cooled 4-stroke engine with either a 3-speed semi-automatic transmission with an automatic centrifugal clutch or a 4-speed manual gearbox. With power at 6hp and a top speed of 75kmh, they did not qualify in all markets for on-road use.

This 1971 Honda ST70 is a UK-supplied machine from new, it was purchased secondhand in 1980 for the vendor’s kids to use but they soon lost interest and it was placed into the garden shed where it has lay dormant until 2024. A mostly original Honda ST70 which could easily be restored or brought back up and running as it is. It comes complete with its handbook and the V5C has been applied for and should be here in time for the auction.
