A wave of nostalgia is about to hit the auction floor as 46 vintage minibikes from the Indianapolis Classic Minibike Collection go up for sale, featuring a selection of well-preserved and rare Honda models that defined youth motorcycling in the 1970s.
Among the highlights are multiple 1970 Honda CT70 Trail models, including a standout CT70H finished in Candy Emerald Green, equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and showing just two miles on the odometer — a remarkable find for collectors seeking originality and ultra-low mileage.
Another eye-catching offering is a Candy Gold 1970 CT70, VIN CT70-106962, which features a 3-speed automatic transmission and 2,643 miles on the clock. These models, part of Honda’s famed Trail 70 lineup, are known for their rugged reliability, foldable handlebars, and iconic styling that made them popular with trail riders and kids alike.
Also included is a 1970 Honda Mini Trail in pink, a color rarely seen and likely to be a standout on the auction block for its unique aesthetic appeal.
The auction is expected to draw collectors from across the country looking to score a piece of two-wheeled Americana. Whether restored to factory specs or left with their original patina, the minibikes in this collection represent a vibrant era in small-displacement motorcycling.
The sale offers a rare opportunity to own part of the minibike legacy that helped fuel the growth of powersports in the United States during the 20th century.
