Registration No: OLW 57L
Frame No: ST10-139442
MOT: Exempt

• A funky 1970s 'monkey bike'
• A genuine lock-up find
• A very original machine
• Ride or restore

Honda launched the ST50, ST70in August 1969 and production ran to 1981. A key feature of the ST70 is the T-bone pressed-steel frame that distinguishes it from the Gorilla and the Z series. As a general description, the ST-series bikes have a bench-style saddle, small fat tyres, and folding handlebars. They have an air-cooled four-stroke engine with either a three-speed semi-automatic transmission with a centrifugal clutch or a four-speed manual gearbox, with a power output at 6hp and a top speed of about 45mph.

Untaxed since 1976, this 1972 Honda ST70 was recently found in a lock-up with the BMW R80 and Kawasaki Z900 (lots 296 and 297). In very original condition for its age and mostly complete, the engine turns over with some compression. Ideal for restoration or sympathetic fettling, it could be put back on the road in its original condition. Sold strictly as viewed and with no documentation, the original registration number is on the DVLA database, so it might be able to be reclaimed
