The World's Best Beginner Bike.
Featuring an inverted fork, 49cc four-stroke engine, automatic clutch and three-speed gearbox, it's no wonder this little Honda CRF50F has been the model of choice for beginning riders the world over for more than 40 years.
How many thousands of beginners have had their first taste of motorcycling on a Honda 50? Hundreds of thousands, for sure. And it’s easy to understand why. The CRF50F offers up an unbeatable combination: Its bulletproof engine develops smooth, easy-to-use power, a three-speed transmission with automatic clutch, and a tough suspension stands up to youthful enthusiasm. And for adults, the CRF50F makes sense too: an adjustable throttle limiter lets you tailor the power to the appropriate skill level, and the proven reliability means more time riding and less time taken up by maintenance and repairs.
They only learn to ride once. Start them off right—on a Honda CRF50F.
Details that Make a Difference.
The automatic clutch not only makes riding easier, but can handle youth-induced abuse. Other features like its maintenance-free CD ignition, automatic cam-chain tensioner, rugged steel frame and tough bodywork make the CRF50F less hassle for you. And finally, the keyed ignition lets you decide who rides, and when.
Honda Tough. Honda Smart.
If there’s ever a bike that needs a durable, reliable, low-maintenance engine, it’s a bike like this. And nobody can match Honda’s reputation for trouble-free operation.
Stay In Control.
Parents understand their children like nobody else. That’s why the CRF50F has a parent-friendly adjustable throttle limiter, so you can decide how much power your rider can use. It’s simple for you to adjust too.
Nothing’s Easier.
The CRF50F’s automatic clutch makes learning easier, because young riders never have to worry about stalling or a handlebar-mounted clutch lever. They just shift gears with their toe when they’re ready.
