With the launch of the CZ100¬ in 1960, Honda created the class of motorcycle known as 'monkey bikes', so called because of their diminutive stature. The power unit was the C100 step-thru's reliable four-stroke single. An ultra-short wheelbase, small wheels, and a vestigial fuel tank were all features of a machine which, in the case of the folding handlebar version, could be fitted into the boot of car. A 72cc version, the ST70 Dax, with the overhead-cam engine and slightly larger and more practical frame was introduced in 1969, becoming the CT70 for 1971, by which time telescopic front forks had been adopted. Imported from the USA and first registered in the UK in September 2020, the Mini Trail 70 offered here is the 'off-road' version of the CT70 Dax. The machine was purchased by the vendor in December 2021 and is said to have been running well at that time. This little 'fun machine' is offered with an expired MoT (August 2021) and a V5C document.
