🏆 The Last Brand New Honda Passport 70 on Planet Earth – 1981 Honda Passport Deluxe 70 – 100% Original Survivor – Museum Display Quality 🏆

Description:

Guys, feast your eyes on this once-in-a-lifetime find — an absolutely pristine, original 1981 Honda Passport Deluxe 70. As far as we know, this is the last brand new example left on the planet. If you’ve been waiting for a true time capsule from the golden era of Honda’s engineering mastery, your ship has come in.

This bike came from an incredible collection of 20 brand-new NOS 1980s motorcycles we acquired from a private museum earlier this year. The original owner was obsessed with small-bore Hondas — he would buy them brand new, ride them a handful of miles, then store them indoors, untouched, for decades. This one had just 4 miles when we got it. It now has 7 miles total after our full mechanical inspection and test ride.

Never abused, never restored, never left in the sun — this Passport Deluxe is as close to “out of the crate” as you will ever find, but with the benefit of a complete top-to-bottom service by our veteran Honda technician, Bill Kelly, who’s been wrenching since 1983.

Why This Bike Is Special:

Honda sold over 100 million Super Cubs worldwide, making it the most produced motor vehicle in history — but virtually none survive in new condition after 40+ years. This Passport Deluxe is the American variant with upgraded chrome, trim, and electric start. It is a 100-point original survivor that has lived its entire life indoors in private collections.

Whether you ride it, display it, or keep it as an investment, this Passport is a blue-chip collectible that will only go up in value.

Condition Statement:

This is a museum-display-quality survivor, not a restored bike. It is 44 years old and has minor patina in the chrome and original tires, but is otherwise as close to brand new as one can get. We can prep it for continued museum display (fuel drained, fogged for storage) upon request.

Shipping & Pickup:
