HONDA CRF70F (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2008, the Japanese maker released the Honda CRF70F, an off-road machine created for the youngest among Honda's fans. It packed the same benefits as its smaller sibling but in a slightly larger package.

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.

The 2008 CRF70F was in the fifth consecutive production year and packed the same visual, performance, and technical characteristics as previous ones without any changes whatsoever.

The visual department was characterized by 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.

The suspension system comprised 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.

Regarding stopping power, the motorcycle's wire-spoke wheels were assisted by expandable drum braking units both front and rear, providing optimum stopping performance.

As for the power figures, the 2008 Honda CRF70F had installed a 72cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine fed by a single carburetor. The engine delivered 5 hp at 8,000 rpm and 5 Nm (4 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.
