Synopsis
Author of
Honda Mini Trail: Enthusiast's Guide, Jeremy Polson has put together another vintage Honda guide. It covers the third-best-selling Honda in American Honda history, the long-running Mini Trail CT-70, along with the CL, SL, and XL 72-cc motorcycles manufactured from 1969 to 1994. Polson begins with a brief introduction of the models that led to the first CL-70, and then jumps into a thorough analysis of the many models and iterations that Honda offered through the years.
With more than 25 years of experience collecting, restoring, and selling more than 200 small-displacement Hondas, Polson is the ideal author for this must-have look at a group of Honda's most popular motorcycles.
Despite the worldwide popularity of American Honda's 72-cc motorcycles, no other book on these models has been published, and the accuracy of information found on the Internet is suspect at best. It could be called the "Bible for Honda 72-cc collectors and enthusiasts," because this book presents facts and figures backed up by production dates, serial numbers, and dealer information found nowhere else.
In addition to the hard facts, this book is filled with many rare photos that track the evolution of Honda's 72-cc motorcycles and unravels their mystery. Rare models covered include the first CT-70 "Silver Tags" with more than 30 features not found on the majority of later-model CT-70s, as well as many other low-production 72-cc motorcycles.
Synopsis
The CT-70 was Honda's third-best selling motorcycle. Add in the CL, SL, and XL 70s, and you have a big chunk of Honda's production between 1969 and 1994. All four of these 72cc motorcycles are featured in this book - Honda 70 Enthusiast's Guide covers all these 72cc model motorcycles. Well-known Honda author Jeremy Polson begins the book with a brief introduction to the models that led up to the first CL-70, and then jumps into a thorough analysis of each and every "70" model offered through the years. The information offered here is amazing. If you want to know what year Honda gave up the folding handlebars, just take a look inside. It's all here along with a thousand other equally important details.
Despite the popularity of these bikes, Jeremy's book is the only book (or website) that covers each model and the evolution of the bikes as a group. For Honda 72cc collectors and enthusiasts, this book presents facts and figures found nowhere else.
In addition to the facts and specifications regarding each model of each year, this book is filled with many photos of rare bikes that help to track the evolution of Honda's 72cc motorcycles. Honda 70 - Enthusiast's Guide brings you 28 chapters and over 300 photos of hard information on each and every Honda 70.
