I found a 1980 CT70 for sale that has only 110 miles on it, it has been in storage for it's entire life.

Assumming good condition, what is a fair price for a bike like this. He is asking $950.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Offer him $800.00 and bargin up from there. If it's as good as you say, it's worth every penny. A 29 year old storage queen with only 110 miles could be worth a lot more to the right collector. Post pictures, if you buy it.

The Tahitian 1980 are really rare . That sounds like a great deal - but check out the condition of the seat & tires , among other things to ensure the mileage is correct .

You can't officially confirm mileage...I believe what he was saying is do a a visual of the seat,tires and the overall condition of the bike. You can take a compression reading if you want. That price is not out of line at all...You will be able to tell if it has been taken care of. Good Luck and Post some Pics when you get it home!;)

what makes the tahitian 1980 ct70 rare? I am curios because I am in the middle of a restomod on mine but no one on the boards mentioned it being unusual or rare before I decided to do some mods instead of a restoration. just curious if I have something more than I thought!:30:

I think thats a great thing that you did keep the original...Didn't you just offer to give it away recently? If it was, I remember being kinda surprised. Maybe it was another forum.

well I talked the seller down to $800. I think I will go ahead and get it. To tell the truth though I'm not sure if I am getting it for my 10 year old or for me. I did have one of these in the early 70s.
