After having dealt with the entry-point 50cc off-road bikes, your kid is ready to take his or her first step up towards becoming a champ, and this step might very well be the 2005 Honda CRF70F. Light and non-intimidating, sporting true big-bike styling and plenty of attitude, this automatic-clutch machine is the natural order of things.
The smooth 4-stroke engine delivers plenty of punch to make things thrilling and interesting, while the 3-speed gearbox helps young riders get used to what real off-road riding is like, allowing them to experience the various traction and power delivery scenarios they will encounter ahead.
