The carburetor was rebuilt and I put all new gas lines on it. The bike has just over 2,000 miles on it which is low low for a bike of this age. The rear tire is a replacement and has good tread on it. The front tire is original but it has some cracking in it. The wheels give the bike some character and show that this bike has some age to it and is in fact original. They do have a bit of patina on them from sitting for so long. The wheels on the bike are original and have original paint on them. The main decals have a little wear on them, it's very minor though. The decals are all original on the bike and look good. Overall the chrome is presentable, it doesn't look new, but have just a slight bit of patina that only time could create on it. The exhaust is straight and there is no rust through like Hondas typically have on their exhaust. The seat is even original but does have a couple of little tears near the edge of the rear of the seat pan. There is little wear on the side covers from the low 2,000 miles that are on the bike.

The engine is in original condition and looks great. The headlight is in nice shape with a little scrape on the chrome bezel. The controls on the bike are all original to it. They all appear to be original and unmolested. The headlight ears are straight and same as the handlebars. The rear fender is in great shape and the front fender is nice but it does have a little bend on the left side edge on it. The chrome on the bike is all original and in good shape for being untouched. There is some minor scratches here and there on the bike, and on the chain guard on the left side of the bike. The metallic shines nice and that's what makes these early Hondas better looking because of the metallic paints that were offered in these years. The paint has a very nice shine to it and look great in the sun. The original metallic orange metallic paint is in great shape. That is what makes this bike so special is that it's basically all original and untouched. It's been physically off of the road for a very long time but it was stored indoors to help preserve the originality of the bike.

I found this bike tucked away in an old barn in the middle of nowhere California where it had been sitting for many many years.

Call and we can talk about delivery options. It was always stored inside and is overall excellent condition. A minimum of work and this bike would be showroom quality.
#Ossa motorcycle ct70 serial number#
The original owner engraved the serial number several places on the bike frame. The seat has two small, 1/2 in cracks, see photo. Runs great with after market carb on bike at present. Just got it running again (sitting with the gas these days is sure to gum up the carb). My wife rode this bike and I have a trail 90 ( this one is listed on Ebay also) and we would ride a few miles at our cabin each year. I am the second owner and rode the bike a few miles each year. Look No Further! I bought this bike in Anchorage Alaska in the late 80's with 400 miles on it. 730 miles! If you are looking for a trail 70 easy restoration to show room or a bike to ride for many years to come.
