what year is it?

i recently purchased an st70 project and i am having difficulty determining what year it is. the engine number is st70 102838 and frame number i think is st70-522838. can anyone help me?

Hi Noel,

Unfortunately our resident expert who would be able to help you with this question is on holiday for a week or two. Does anyone else in the club know how to work out years from the frame number?

Thanks

James

Maybe when the guru gets back he can help me. Thanks for your reply

Congrats!
Appears you have obtained the early type, 1969!!! Model Z or EZ.

Hi there
I have just been following the thread for the chap you helped out who was wondering what year his bike was. I am in the same predicament having just purchased a CT 70 mostly in bits.
I have a frame number and wonder if you could identify the year for me? Would it have been imported from America?
It's CT70-167990.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Morris

It's indeed an American trail, K0 version.
Built date between '69 and '72.

Thanks for the info, most helpfull, now I can source age appropriate bits.

For the gentlemen that was looking for info on the year of bike you may find this website helpful http://www.hondaminitrail.com/ct70.html

Thanks very much for the direction.
Has anybody ordered parts from this website, if so how do they compare?
