I love this bike, my old man had a CT70 for years that I absolutely loved.

I put some new bars on the scoot, went with unknurled to save a tiny bit a money so wish me luck when they wrench out of place on the first bump and I dump it on an icy road since I'm riding it on icy roads right now because I'm impatient and don't wanna wait for spring.

Also, for those who like the cold weather riding, I highly recommend these GI cold weather masks, they keep your face warm and make you look like a necromancer.  Also help with the intense pollution here on the Wasatch Front in Utah.

Looks (and sounds) great! I was tempted to go something old-school for my first bike (we're restricted to relatively low powered bikes here in Oz until you've been licensed for 12 months), but I ended up going with a Ducati Monster 659. I thought the ABS etc will come in handy while I'm inexperienced.  The ability to 'mod' the look of these Monsters is crazy, all the panels come off in about 20 mins and can be swapped for a different colour or design. I've ordered matte black but have got the Pantah homage kit coming from Italy…

The plastic bodywork is probably as far from old-school as you can get, but I reckon it looks pretty great and I'm stoked to have my first bike incoming

Cheers,
Matt

congrats MP, be safe & keep us updated

Both those bikes are sweet!  The Monster is a large first bike, but IMO the kick ass agility, brakes and suspension make it a smarter choice than most. Congrats!

[harley dave]

you cant go  wrong with anything that says ducati on the tank the monsters are a great bike ,ive had a few ducati engined bikes and they are glorious sounding machines .
what a great first bike enjoy the bike just remember your lifesaver look !!!!!!

Went to a swap meet today. Unloaded a bunch of junk I'd never ever use. Unloaded that springer I just bought. Now on the hunt for a inline knucklehead or pan head springer. Probably end up with a ww repop.
Picked this little gem up thou
