I just realized the picture I show above, was before the 12" rims.
If you repaint it, you might be afraid to ride it where you want. The best bike to have is the one that you can ride without worries.
I lov it you drove that ct70 like you own it!!Heres some pics of my baby fresh back from an amazing mud run. I love using these bikes for what they were made to be used for! I can honestly say that these bike will plow through mud and water over 1 foot high!
These days, they'd be referred to as "gray market" machines, imported by individuals...legally, with a few exceptions. That's how Daxes made it into the US; most of those were purchased by people in the military and many of them are found still wearing ID stickers, from the bases where the buyers had been stationed. It used to be easy, especially for servicemen...Uncle Sam would transport belongings, including cars...back home, at the end of the service commitment. Anyone could could import a bike, as long as they were willing to pay the shipping costs. Things changed drastically in 2006, all kinds of hoops to jump through...corporate politics bullshit that I'm not going into. Still, newer bikes still make it here. I know of someone who imported a Kawasaki KSR110 that was manufactured after 2006...it must've been "accidentally" packed in with a shipping container of other stuff. From what I've seen, Canada is less ridiculous when it comes to importing vehicles.Somehow this one made it to Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada. Here’s the sellers description and details.
