1983 Honda C70 Passport review from United States of America
"Great"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The gas tank is rusted out.
Kills headlight bulbs (always use a fully charged battery, or kiss the bulb goodbye).
Nothing really has gone wrong with bike.
Oh, replaced the carb... rust kills!
General comments?
This is an amazingly reliable bike. Small yes, and it sure is not a hotrod.
It is a great bike to learn how to ride, shift gears, and balance on a bike. ***Stay away from pine straw... yikes!
Here it is 2005, and the bike was made in 83. Still cranks! I had to replace the carb (replaced with a carb off a 70's model Passport, and it runs fine. The gas tank rusts easily, and rust is bad for the carb... I wish I could find a plastic gas tank replica).
