1981 Honda C70 Passport review from United States of America
"Well done, I want five more like it"
General comments?
So far I had to replace rear tire because I could see air. I mounted a 3.00 tire and it handles better for it, however before I repaint I'll move the lower left inner fender outboard so the tire can have a truer tracking. The bike for me could use a 4 speed gear set. The auto clutch is fine and does well on those grocery store junket runs.
I weigh 200 lbs and it even surprises me for 4.4 cu inch motor. I think the only thing that can out handle this bike is a P-51 Mustang.
I average about 85 mpg, but if I let off the feed a little it would hit 100 easy.
As far as power goes, maybe a 88cc upgrade and 4 speed gear set, but that's all and new paint. From the beginning I soaked the gasoline tank in acid and filled it with rocks to loosen the rust, then hosed it all out.
Does anyone have the colour codes for Angel Blue?
Bravo Mr. Honda, good job.
