Hemmings launches giveaway for one-of-one Trail 70 minibike
Online collector-car marketplace Hemmings is launching the “Hemmings Stay Gold Sweepstakes,” a giveaway offering one winner the opportunity to own a custom-built Trail 70 minibike.
Built from the ground up in the Hemmings garage, the inspiration for the custom minibike — dubbed “Stay Gold” — started after the crew restored a family heirloom 1970 Honda CT-70. Motivated by the ability to source nearly every component new, the team set out to create something that honored the CT-70’s legacy while pushing its design in a new direction.
Using zero Honda parts and only all-new parts from Bart Moto Co., the Hemmings crew designed and assembled the custom machine before partnering with painter Travis “Tuki” Hess, whose signature metal flake artwork gave the bike its personality.

“Stay Gold represents everything we love about this hobby,” says Jonathan Shaw, president of Hemmings. “It’s creative, personal and deeply rooted in the memories that first sparked our passion for cars and motorcycles. Projects like this remind us that collector culture today should preserve the past and balance that with inspiring the next generation of enthusiasts to build, create and make memories of their own.”
Hemmings partnered with Hess of Kolor by Tuki Kustom Auto Paint, who is known throughout the drag racing and custom-automotive communities. For Stay Gold, he applied his signature artistry across the frame, fenders, and headlamp nacelle, creating a finish that captures the bold spirit of ’70s custom culture.

- 125cc engine with high-lift cam and manual four-speed gearbox
