HONDA CRF70F (2004-2005) Specs, Performance & Photos

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.

In 2004, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CRF70F, an off-road motorcycle with a low seating position that ensured confidence and a tuned suspension system that allowed excellent stability and handling capabilities. The bike was for sale at an MSRP of $1,400 at the time in a red color scheme.

The bike's visual department was complemented 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.

For suspension, the small-displacement off-road motorcycle 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.

Expandable drum braking units, both front and rear, offered optimum stopping performance.

The 2004 Honda CRF70F was powered by a 72cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled powerhouse 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 and was assisted by a semi-automatic transmission that sent the power to the rear via a final chain drive.
