HONDA CRF70F (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2005, the Japanese maker released the Honda CRF70F, a small-displacement, off-road motorcycle created for the youngest among Honda's fans. It was in the second production year and packed the same specifications as the previous one without any modifications.

The Honda CRF70F was a small-displacement, entry-level, off-road motorcycle created for the youngest riders among Honda's fans. The bike debuted in 2004 and packed a semi-automatic transmission for the fun of clutchless shifting. Its CR-inspired styling gave the bike a big bike appeal.

Performance-wise, the 2005 Honda CRF70F had installed a 72cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine fed by a single carburetor. The engine boasted 5 hp with a peak at 8,000 rpm and 5 Nm (4 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.

The small engine's power was converted into motion by a three-speed semi-automatic transmission and sent to the rear end through a final chain drive.

For suspension, the bike packed a 27 mm leading-axle Showa telescopic fork on the front with 81 mm of travel and a single Showa shock absorber on the rear with 89 mm wheel travel.

The braking power was achieved by expandable drum braking units both front and rear, offering optimum stopping power.

The bike's aesthetic department was characterized by standard features such as a single, low seat, a high-mounted front fender, a blacked-out high-mounted single exhaust system, CR-styled side panels, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.
