Honda C70 - AD5217FC | Really Cool One!

Honda C70. I see this Honda C-70 come close to my shop. Two ladies are riding this Honda motorcycle. They are so happy and look like so proud of their bike. I admit it. I asked to one of them whether the engine is still original or using other Honda engines.

She admitted that the engine of this Honda C-70 is not original anymore she replaced it with Honda Supra's engine. Yes…. I knew it. Because I was thinking this Honda C-70's engine was difference with its original. So basically this Honda C70 does a lot of makeover in order to keep this Honda C-70 motorcycle keep running on the street.



It is very common here in Indonesia people who own Honda C70 do a lot of makeover to maintain their Honda C70 working as suppose to be. Because this Honda C-70 was manufactured first time around 1970’s so it is very difficult now to find spare part to replace the old ones.

Back to this picture, we see some parts of this Honda C-70 motorcycle still in its original. Like rear shock absorber, stop lamp and so on.



Also if we look little deeper we can see that this Honda C70 was repainting not long ago, because the paint is so shining. Back to the Honda C-70's engine…. As we can see here the engine looks like new too.


Overall this Honda C70 is still in good shape. The owner must be proud of it. See you in next article.

Total Super Cub Production Reaches 50 Mio. Units

Super Cub Read the title there? Super Cub reaches 50 million production units by the end of December 2005. Great achievement for Super Cub! This Super Cub has become the favorite motor vehicle ever since. I found this Super Cub article from browsing the internet, http://world.honda.com/news/2006/c060208SuperCub/index.html. Please read the full story about Super Cub below.

"KUMAMOTO, Japan, February 8, 2006 – Honda Motor Co., Ltd. announced that total worldwide production of the Super Cub reached 50 million units at the end of December 2005. A favorite with customers since its launch in 1958, the Honda Super Cub has become the first motor vehicle to achieve total worldwide production of 50 million units.1


The first-generation Super Cub made its debut in Japan in 1958. At a time when 2-stroke engines were the main stream, the Super Cub was fitted with a revolutionary, high-performance 50cc 4-stroke engine that offered superb economy and durability. The creative design also featured a low-floor backbone frame for convenient mounting and dismounting, a lever-free centrifugal clutch for easy shifting, large plastic leg shields to protect riders’ legs from dirt and wind, and other innovations. Since then the Super Cub has undergone many improvements, but its basic design and concepts remain unchanged, and it carries on a proud tradition of unique styling.

In 1959 the United States became the first market for Honda Cub exports, and in 1961 Taiwan became the first country to assemble the model from imported Japanese parts. Since then, following the policy of building products where the demand is, Honda has expanded Super Cub production to facilities around the world. Currently produced in 13 countries and a popular product in more than 160, the Super Cub is a practical motorcycle that enjoys a strong reputation around the world.

A Guide to Buying Your First Motorcycle

By Isla Campbell

Motorcycle. The thrill of riding a motorbike is a wonderful experience and unlike any other form of transport. If, like so many others, you are thinking of buying your first bike, a few simple steps can prevent you from buying something you'll just want to trade in after a few months.

Being the first owner of a new bike can be a privilege, but one that comes at a price. Bikes depreciate a lot quicker than cars, and this is especially true with new bikes, losing at least 15% of their value as soon as you've ridden it out of the showroom. If you're an inexperienced driver the drop in value in the first weeks is pretty high, significantly affecting the vehicle's resale price. If you do choose to buy new, make sure you intend to keep it for a while in order to minimise the effects of the initial loss.

Most dealers will carry a range of second hand bikes or trade-ins for sale. These won't be as cheap as the ones you can find from private sellers, but a reputable trader will ensure the bike isn't stolen, allow you to test ride it without arranging your own insurance and offer a warranty or service package.

Private sellers will be able to provide you with a bargain, but this requires more effort and vigilance. If possible, arrange to view bikes you are interested in the same day you see it advertised. Most people won't be able to view until the next day or even days later, giving you plenty of time to check the bike's history and negotiate a price.

If you have friends or family who are knowledgeable about motorbikes, take them with you to curb your enthusiasm when needed. If you don't, check if the bike is clean and tidy to gauge whether it's been looked after. Ask the seller to show you the bike and explain the controls to show you how familiar they are with the bike, a good indicator of how well they've taken care of it.

Once you're satisfied that the Motorcycle is in order, check the necessary paperwork, such as the MOT and V5 certificates, owner's manual and the service book. You should also obtain a receipt of the sale, in case the owner should attempt to report it stolen afterwards and carry out a HPI check, to ensure that the bike isn't subject to any outstanding finance arrangement.

Regardless of your current credit rating, there are several motorcycle providers who can help to arrange bike finance, making it easier than ever to get that bike of your dreams. If you do decide to arrange finance for your new motorcycle, make sure you afford the repayments, as making payments on time can help build or even repair a good credit rating.

So with summer only a few months away, follow the aforementioned steps in order to experience the road the way only riding a motorbike can.
