With the launch of the CZ100 in 1960, 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 and renamed CT70 for 1971. Acquired by the vendor in 1988, this Dax was originally registered ‘RFE 588K’ but was mistakenly given the number ‘RFE 588H’ by the DVLA when its owner applied for a new logbook! Like most miniature motorcycles, this Dax has seen relatively little use, covering only 5,520 miles from new and fewer than 300 since 1988. The machine is offered with a quantity of expired MoTs (most recent expired July 2004), DVLA correspondence, SORN and Swansea V5C registration document. No reserve.
