Honda CRF70 going for $850 used 15 times driven 10-15 miles good deal? completely stock used for horse shows? so never really "ridden" I was getting an SSR 125 but wanted hondas reliability so is a 70 near the size of a chinese 125? and are all of these bike manual transmission or are some semi?

so im stuck between the honda CRF70 and CRF80. I was thinking the 70 because it would fit better in our Toyota Seqouia or maybe the 80 could too? Both are the same but the 80 is liek 2 inches taller so i may go with that but is there a smaller honda bike that has a semi auto transmission? thats what i really want an automatic clutch. so if i can get an 80 with auto clutch then ill jump all over it IF there is such a thing

The 70 is a semi auto, but the 80 has a manual clutch.

The 70 is a great bike with many mods available.

so every 70 is a semi? that awsome! dude you made my day! i dont have enough cash to buy one used but do you think 700-800 is good for a lightly used bike?

jsander9 · 08-16-2009, 07:37 PM

Yeah all honda 70's come semi auto, unless the owner converts it to manual it will always come stock auto.

Depending on the overall condition I'd say 7-800 is a fair deal for a nice 70.

big bar kit, stiff front rear springs and your set! Bag on that for a bit then slap in a big bore kit

spelunk · 08-16-2009, 08:21 PM

dont forget the tall seat and bigger pegs

mrmx227 · 08-16-2009, 08:26 PM

yea thats not bad 70 is a good all around bike

speed demon · 08-17-2009, 03:00 PM

so i'll get the bike, see how it fits, if too small, get a bigger seat pegs and stiff suspension that right? Then exhuast and a CDI box for power good so far for simple upgrades?

i made trails in my backyard and their 5ft wide all over is that wide enough for a honda crf70? my friend said that 8ft wide is better? but my 400cc atv which i will not use on it is 3ft wide so i think a smaller bike would do fine

zwieblekopf · 08-18-2009, 01:29 PM

well a 70 has 2.75 inch wide tires so as long as you are a good aim that's all you need so 5 feet will be more than enough. Also skip the cdi box, they don't make any difference, especially on a stock motor.
