The Honda C70 was a 72cc version of the Honda Super Cub. It replaced the 63cc Honda C65 in 1970. It was introduced in the USA, Canada and Asia at launch and in the UK in 1972; after 1980 the USA C70 was called the C70 Passport.
It had a 72 cc (4.4 cu in) air-cooled single overhead cam engine, a semi-automatic 3-speed gearbox, and enough horse power to pull this bike to a top speed of 40 mph (65 km/h). First models had 6 v electrics; in 1982, 12 v electrics and CDI ignition were introduced to improve the maintenance-free reliability of the engine. All models have a full-enclosed drive chain for less maintenance.
