Thats a tidy looking CT, I picked up a $20 CT90 a month ago but it has been a farm hack so is in nowhere near the condition yours is in, but with some fresh fuel and an oil change it's running perfectly! It's now in a few hundred pieces getting repainted and all the seals etc being refreshed, total budget is $200 to get it back to being "road legal"..... as long as the police don't take a close look! They are a fun little bike, mine is being assigned to be the beach bike for getting groceries and going fishing at our beach house.
what a cool find! dad had one that he logged nearly 30,000 miles on & he never got much more than 30 miles from the house/RV have fun w/ your quest sw
Nice find and a great deal. I bought this vintage 1965 ct200 back in Feb. and just finished a moderate restoration. Starts first kick and is a blast to cruise around town. It's amazing, everyone had or knew someone that had a CT! I grew up with a 67, so this old girl is helping me relive my youth and tune up the wrenching skills.

Very nice work! DrATV (Beatrice Cycle) is the place to go! They get all my spare $$$ too. Question, why the 2nd set of passenger pegs mounted on shock bolts vs. the OEM pegs forward???
My first bike was an 07 CT110. I ratted the shit out of that bike. I loved it. It was good for about 120km/h, had michelin m45's on it and actually hooked around really well. It caught fire after a fuel leak and I didn't have the heart to rebuild it, so I sold it for $100. I want another one this week. Next week I may be over I dont know. After these photos were taken I cut down the front mud guard and lowered it to 5mm off the tyre, and hacked the rear fender off at the seam. It looked really neat. I fitted a similar size light in chrome, and tiny indicators that would vibrate loose on an almost daily basis. We changed out the exhaust to a low mount item but that kept cracking. It really was a hack bike but shit it was fun and it got me addicted to motorbikes.
Yeah that was on the cards. Im now thinking of a similar project but to make it road legal here in Australia will be very difficult.
Yeah you could, but I don't want to run the risk of getting caught. I've never been pulled over for a random inspection, however the day I do something dodgy is the day I get waved to the side of the road... Plus if it's legal it's more a sense of acomplishment.
