Honda ST70's

[Munday]

After failing my bike test last week I thought I would use my dads old bike to practice on.... a 1975 Honda ST70.
It is currently undergoing a service so I should be able to ride it on the road in about a week.
What are your opinions? Are they cool, retro and stylish? Or old peices of embarrasing junk?

I am a little worried people will laugh at me, would you?
Here is a picture of what one looks like if you didn't already know:

thats cool, are they very tiny? i would have one for messing on or practising go for it...

[Munday]

Yeah, slightly bigger than a monkeybike but a bit smaller than a normal motorbike.

one of the coolest two wheelers on the planet

(That's not, by any chance, the restored one featured in <Classic & Motorcycle> Mechanics is it?)

I am liking you opinions people, I was a little worried people would laugh but I shall ride it with Pride now

As for the blue one in the picture... I don't think it was featured but it comes from www.monkeyrun.co.uk

That looks like great fun
Me wants one

I think they're cool bikes, but i doubt i'd use it massively, only for the odd jolly outing when i need a laugh

I like it ! Very Retro cool! You will probably get the odd point and wave from most people, if I saw you out on it I'd give you a big tumbs up !

[Munday]

Hehe, yeah you can all have a go! Just been over to my Grandad's house (he is servicing it for me) and he was riding about on it
I have just been round the yard on it and its actually quite nippy
