Is a 2004 Honda CRF70F a good first motorbike for a 13 year old girl?

Question

I have ridden one and I think its good.From experience does anyone know if it is suitable for me im only about 160cm tall.

Answer 1

Probably not for motorcycle racing.....

Answer 2

ehh it may be but if she is interested and gets good quick you may have to buy a new bike soon after. my friend has a crf-70 and he is really good and he has been stuck with the bike for a few years... If she wants to race then no but if she is just looking to ride around on trails maybe just get a crf-100? You could also go to a local dealer and test out the sizes of the bikes. Good luck! Im 13 and i just got a crf-150f.. its kinda big but its really fun!

Answer 3

As long as it's not too short for her. A bike that is too small can be as dangerous as too big. It cramps their riding position which is not good. Other than that it is a great bike to start on. If she needs to move to a bigger bike like the CRF100 a clutch is really easy to learn on a bike. She could have it mastered in one or two days max. As far as the other comments here. A KLX110 is the same physical size as a CRF70 so that isn't going to help. Same goes for the TT-R 90, it is a fine bike but certainly no better than the CRF and is still the same seat height. None of the bikes are for racing, they are beginners play bikes. I think you can ignore "ilovemehbabygirl's" post altogether since he thinks a YZ400F is a 2 stroke. But maybe since he's a 14 year old prodigy that flys and races all over the world Yamaha built a 2 stroke model just for him (LOL)

Answer 4

its going to feel very small very soon, but your little sis may not be able to swing a leg over a bigger bike

Answer 5

i cant believe im saying this but look at a kawasaki 110. its automatic!!! when i got into mx racing i was 12, 13 now, i started on a CRF150F, it was a lol tall but you learn to shift your leg when you stop. now i ride/race a CRF150R big wheel its a little tall for me too, but once you get goin its not that big of deal, its not that big of deal for me tho, when i wreck i can still pick it up and get goin. good luck!!!

Answer 6

no if you want to get a good girl bike you have to get a TTR90 IT IS WAY BETTER FOR RACING AND RIDING

Answer 7

well im 14 and im riding a allmighty 2 stroke YZ400f but i race worldwide and i FLY. if she is really interested and dedicated to falling, getting back up, and going, then get her around a 125-150. if its gunna be a 1 year then retire. then dont get one at all. i started on my cousins outgrown kawasaki 200 i believe. i wouldnt recomend that... but the bike was free so i toke it. Your gunna have to buy another bike sooner or later. so why not delay that as much as possible.

Answer 8
