Ok this is just cool.
Kinda tempting as well. I wish there was more things designed like this. Not everyone can afford a $10k + tractor for mowing pasture.

That’s very cool. The problem is that if they made something comparable today it would probably also be $10K+.

So is the market for these (and the siblings) just based on nostalgia? They don’t seem like they’d bee good for anything that a much cheaper, more capable, modern alternative wouldn’t do better. Thanks a legitimate question. I’ve never ridden one, so maybe they really are great.
 
I can confirm that they are really great but not $3k great. I just hate how many I passed up over the years. I could retire now if I had been smart.
 
I had 6 of the 69-74 CT70s at one point several years ago. None this nice, but several all original in good shape. Wish I would have kept them! Great little bikes, but yes, this is mainly a nostalgia thing for many. For me personally, it was the very first motorcycle I ever rode.

I never thought so. Started with a '69 Mini Trail 50, then got the 70 cause I was too fat. The little tires and narrow handlebars made for really crappy trail riding, a fact I didn't realize until I got a Bridgestone 90 Sport, and everything changed. Sure the nostalgia would be great, but I wouldn't buy one to ride it much.
 
I rode one a bunch in college and ran all over the deserts of New Mexico. They're great for irrigation ditch roads. the electric start didn't work so all you had to do is just start running with it and it would turn on on its own. They are also light enough you can muscle your way through some pretty technical stuff off road. I still don't think I'm convincing anyone that they're really great but they are fun
 
I don't know what it is...

Intersting find and funny ad for sure.....but I'm not sure I'd wanna touch it. Taking some dudes bike from an angry wife without a title seems like a recipe for owning a "stolen bike".

This looks like a good deal for sure. If I was not needing a truck right now I would be adding a younger brother to the garage for my 2001 KLR'ER.

4K is not a bad price with the great V twin retrofit. One if the cleanest I have ever seen. I bet she will boogie.

Indeed, but reserve not met. I wonder what that is? Didn't notice the V2. Good thing for the disc brake upgrade. lol

For anyone needing it. I love my ims tank
