Literally a block from my house. I had no idea. 1969, original owner.  Has a decompression valve WITH cable and lever.  Was that a stock option on this bike?
has really good compression.  Engine is not original, but owner has original.  States orig has a broken shift drum.  Thats fixable.   Engine sounded great.

What do you guys think something like this is worth?  I know what I think, but I'm not dialed to this series of bikes and the market.

 
 



 

 

It’s worth whatever you’re willing to pay for it.
Me myself, because I’m missing that year 175, I would offer $900, but I would bring $1,500……

I'm with Schu. I have a 71 CT1 in pretty much original condition (running with title) and I would be pretty happy with $1,500 to $2,000. If it runs good and has a title that is about the range but I would definitely start below $1,000 because you are going to find more than meets the eye including the shift drum. I would be concerned about what broke the shift drum because to me that is a bit unusual. Of the five badge bikes I own, I have never seen that one but I am definitely not a mechanic.

So the engine in the bike is good PLUS you'd get the original engine, with a broken shift drum? Not only could you fix that, but you could just use the old engine for spare parts! Looks like they added stripes on the fenders? I don't think they had that in '69. I also don't think they came stock with decompression valves, but back in the day many of us installed them on our CT-1s. I still have mine, but it's not installed. Was just for braking on steep dirt. Pricing around here on that could go way over $2K, but make a low offer and see where it goes. Looks pretty clean!
