Built tough to take a beating by pro-level racers honing their skills, but with an easy-going character that helps younger riders learn the fundamentals of off-road riding. The legendary Honda CRF100F has probably put more smiles on more faces over the years than any other bike out there.

You wouldn’t buy your youngster skates that don’t fit properly. Off-road bikes, like skates, work best when they’re properly matched to a rider’s size and skill level. That’s why Honda has developed the CRF family of four-stroke off-road motorcycles – to ensure that you or your kids get a good, safe start in the sport, and don’t get frustrated by something that’s too hard to ride. As the smallest member of the family to come with a five-speed transmission and manual clutch, the Honda CRF80F is the perfect fit for riders who have grown out of the minibike stage.

What’s the one thing on a bike that seems to take the longest for a youngster to master? That’s right: the clutch lever. That’s why the Honda CRF70F is such a great way to introduce young riders to the fun sport of off-road motorcycling. A low seat height and compact dimensions make the Honda CRF70F easy to operate, but what makes this bike extra special is the three-speed semi-automatic transmission that does away with the need for a clutch lever.

The CRF50F offers the perfect blend of Honda quality, reliability, safety and ease of use – no wonder it’s such a long-time favourite among parents who want to give their youngsters the best possible start in the fun sport of off-road riding. The CRF50F’s automatic clutch makes it all but impossible to stall when getting under way from a stop, and the no-fuss four-stroke engine, keyed ignition, low seat height, light-action controls, and adjustable throttle limiter, all help make the learning process enjoyable for both riders and parents alike.
