unfortunately, there is no right or wrong answer for the worth of a CT70 (or anything else for that matter). It's worth what A.) you are willing to accept for it and B.) what someone else is willing to pay you. What anyone else thinks is immaterial.

There are some low mileage bikes right now on e-bay in the $2K range but they are earlier models or 4-speeds, which tend to be more desirable. Lots of others are in the $1M range. What it all boils down to is some folks just want a rider and will look at an all original low mileage 33 year old bike and think "well the tires are going to need to be replaced, who knows what condition all the seals will be in or the battery or the brakes and is the gas tank and carb gummed up?" In other words, even though it is low miles, is it still going to need refurbishing? Others might look at it as a museum piece and buy it just for their own collection, with no intention of ever riding it, in which case they won't touch a thing on it. If all you get looking is the former, the price may be lower than you are willing to accept, if the latter you just might hit the jackpot. My suggestion, decide what is the minimum YOU would be willing to accept to get it out of your garage and see if you get any nibbles at that price.
