HONDA CRF50F (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2004, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer introduced the Honda CRF50F, the smallest in the CRF range. It was created for the youngest among Honda's fans and was rugged and reliable. It packed a beginner-friendly semi-automatic transmission, and the new CR-inspired styling for a genuine Team Honda feel. It was sold with an MSRP of $1,200.

The Honda CRF50F was a small-displacement off-road motorcycle that debuted in 2004. It was the smallest in the series and featured a three-speed semi-automatic transmission, great handling, and a punchy engine.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard fittings, such as wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires, side panels with CR-styling, a single seat, a single blacked-out exhaust system with a silencer mounted high on the right-hand side, and a high-mounted front fender.

The small machine was made around a high-tensile steel frame. The front inverted telescopic fork offered 89 mm of travel, and the rear steel swingarm with a single shock absorber provided 71 mm of travel.

An expandable drum braking unit mounted on the front wheel and an identical one on the rear delivered optimum stopping performance.

In the performance department, the 2004 Honda CRF50F had installed a 49cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine powered by a single 13 mm piston-valve carburetor and assisted by a three-speed semi-automatic transmission linked to the rear end via a final chain drive.
