The CRF50F continues to give young riders a fun and easy introduction to the sport. Built to the same high-quality standards as the bigger CRFs, the CRF50F is a real motorcycle and not a toy. Everything from its durable bodywork, to its no-fuss four-stroke engine, to its big-bike-like suspension, tells you that this is a bike that's built with care, and is built to last. Small 10-inch wheels along with a low seat height allow young riders to feel in control, and a three-speed semi-automatic transmission means they'll learn how to shift without needing to master a manual clutch.

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.

As the smallest member of the CRF family to come with a five-speed transmission and manual clutch, the CRF80F is fully equipped to teach learning riders the skills they'll need as they grow. With most of the same great features as the CRF100F, but with slightly smaller wheels and a lower seat height, the CRF80F is the perfect fit for riders who have grown out of the minibike stage. Its responsive 80 cc four-stroke engine delivers power smoothly, and the easy-pulling clutch lever will have your young rider shifting through the five-speed gearbox in no time at all.

The CRF100F's legendary durability has helped make it the training machine of choice for even pro-level racers, while its comfortable size and forgiving, user-friendly nature appeal to younger riders who are just getting up to speed. Its seat height is lower than the CRF150F's, yet with large 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels, it can go almost anywhere you ask it to. Add full Showa suspension, a slick-shifting five-speed gearbox with manual clutch, and a powerful and reliable 99 cc four-stroke engine, and you have a bike that just about everyone in the family can enjoy, year after year after year.

Boasting most of the same premium features as the CRF230F, the CRF150F is ready and willing to go just about anywhere the big bikes can. But its smaller wheels, shorter seat height and more-compact ergonomics ensure that learning riders won't feel intimidated as they gain experience. A 149 cc air-cooled four-stroke engine delivers its power smoothly, with lots of torque for easy takeoffs and no sudden surges as the revs rise. For 2008 the CRF150F gets a slimmer and lower seat and fuel tank for improved comfort and lighter handing feel, plus new handgrips and revised suspension settings.

It's the full-size bike that's very rider-friendly. The CRF230F rides on big-bike wheels and power comes from a strong 223 cc four-stroke engine. Plus we've kept the weight low and designed the ergonomics to give it a confidence-inspiring character. Sit in the comfortable seat and notice how easily your feet reach the ground. On the trail, its compact wheelbase and nimble handling are advantages riders of all sizes and skill levels can appreciate.
