Did someone put Dax stickers on this CT70?

jonathon · Mar 19, 2014

Or did some come into the US like this?

It's for sale locally. Guy wants $850, which seems kind of high since it lacks a title.

I don't believe the Dax was ever imported into the US

There was a gold dax on the local craigslist a few months ago. I think people imported them in...like if they moved here from overseas or military personal.

Yes i have seen them with quick release fork, center stand and heel toe shifter.

So is it an actual Dax? I'm stilling waiting to hear back from the seller as to if it's a 4 speed manual or 3 speed auto and what the scoop is on the rest of the frame stickers. His pics suck.

CT70 and dax is the same bike here?

It's a auto...you can see the adjuster for the auto clutch in the pic

Real Dax. Look at front fender bracket as well. The speedo should be Kh/m's no MPH. Check out Brake pedal. Euro/JDM set-up as well.

I may as well weigh in here. I think what you have here is an actual dax, but some of the parts have been replaced with with non-euro pieces. The removable front end, is purely dax. That seat is also dax original. The brake pedal sticking way out is dax. That shifter is not. Those fenders could have been swapped as some daxes had a different look on the fenders.

The best way to tell, honestly, is to look at the vin#. ST = Dax, CT=, well a CT. Regardless, to me this is probably worth the investment at $600 or less if running or at least having good compression.

Cool thanks guys. I'm going to go look at it Sunday and make an offer. If anything I'll try to resto it back to it's original Dax status.

Looking at it more with the chain guard missing and the incorrect shifter I'm wondering if the engine was swapped out at one point. Will the engine serial number also start with ST70?

dirtbkr188 · Mar 22, 2014

Strictly a guess here, but it should start with ST70E-******, based solely on Honda's numbering system. Post up the engine and frame numbers to narrow it down.

jonathon · Mar 22, 2014

I found a few sources that say the engine SN should start with ST70 as well. I figure without the original engine it's probably $400 maybe $500 bike tops. I'll know tomorrow..

jonathon · Mar 24, 2014

Well I looked at it, didn't make an offer as it needed more than I wanted to mess with.

The bike was in fact a real Dax and the VIN and engine serial number started with ST70. It had a tag on the right side of the frame with Japanese writing on it. The wiring harness was all kinds of hacked up and the head light was missing, head light bucket cracked(probably why the head light was missing), chain guard missing, kick stand was missing, head light switch was missing, license plate bracket missing, tail light missing and it had the incorrect shifter. I also couldn't even get the bike to roll, so either the transmission or rear axle was seized up though the bike did shift and in neutral it turned over but didn't want to start. The frame also had a couple dents in it.
