With the launch of the CZ100 in 1963 Honda created the class of machine known as 'Monkey Bikes', so called because of their diminutive stature. The power unit was the C100 step-thru's reliable four-stroke single, and 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 slightly larger and more practical frame was introduced in 1969. According to Honda expert Roger Etcell, the Dax name was used because of the bike's resemblance to a dachshund dog. Like all the early Monkey family, the STs are highly sought after today.
Currently displaying a total of 889 miles on the odometer, this smartly turned out ST70 Dax has been restored by renowned specialist Nigel Everett and has not been run since the rebuild's completion. Some blemishes are visible and the machine would benefit from detailing. Following a period of storage recommissioning will be required before the Honda returns to the road. There are no documents with this Lot. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Sold strictly as viewed.
