With an automatic clutch, low seat height, three-speed transmission, and low-maintenance 72cc air-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine, the CRF70F is a great introduction to off-road motorcycling.

A low seat height, compact dimensions and kid-size levers and controls ensure that younger riders find the 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. Your young rider gets to shift with his or her left foot just like on a bigger bike, but there's no clutch lever to worry about, so stalling is all but impossible. It's super easy to use, and extremely durable, too. The CRF70F also boasts a rugged four-stroke engine that requires no messy mixing of gas and oil and very little maintenance.
 

Think of the CRF70F as the perfect stepping stone between its bigger siblings and the CRF50F. Your youngster a tad too big for the 50F, but not quite ready for the CRF80F or 100F? No worries. This bike features the same smooth three-speed semi-automatic transmission (no clutch to deal with) and novice-friendly four-stroke power as its little brother, only in a slightly bigger package. What could be more fun than that?
