HONDA CRF70F (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CRF70F, a small-displacement off-road motorcycle that was light and sturdy and offered plenty of punch from its smooth 72cc four-stroke engine.

The 2006 model was in its third consecutive production year and packed the same visual, performance, and technical specifications as previous models without any modifications. The bike was sold at an MSRP of $1,600.

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.

Visually, the motorcycle packed standard fittings, like 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.

Suspension-wise, 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 bike's wire-spoke wheels were fitted with expandable drum units both front and rear for braking power, offering optimum performance.

For the power figures, the 2006 Honda CRF70F was powered by a 72cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered 5 hp at 8,000 rpm and 5 Nm (4 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.
