Pros
The best thing about this 70cc is the fuel average. The carburettor upgrades help in getting closer to the company’s claimed figures. Under ideal conditions, the Honda CD 70’s fuel average is about 70 kilometres per litre. It offers a comfortable ride with quality seating, smooth suspension and a straight riding position.
Another reason which attracts consumers is the super easy maintenance and readily available spare parts. A timely oil change and check-up will last you a lifetime. This all adds to n excellent resale value, which, although mentioned last, is the second best thing about this motorbike.
Cons
Many customers have reported that the material used in the latest models is lighter. A drawback observed in the latest models is poor quality. A defect observed in the latest models is poor quality. You may notice an increased vibration while driving it at higher speeds—specifically, the honestly flaky chain cover.
Another problem in many units is the rusty metal. You may be able to get a clean team. However, many bikes have rusty bolts, mudguards, and seat supports. The saddest part is that the motorbike has not been upgraded design-wise for over 40 years.
