2025 Honda CRF50F: LITTLE BIKE, BIG SMILES.
Introducing the 2025 Honda CRF50F…
Being a kid is the best, especially when there’s a CRF50F in the garage. Small in size, it’s the ideal first motorcycle for the next generation, delivering a smooth ride thanks to its single shock and an inverted fork; and controllable power thanks to its reliable 49cc air-cooled four-stroke engine. With the model’s automatic clutch and a low seat height, riders can focus on the basics, while parents and guardians can bank on its unparalleled dependability, plus the fact that it has year-round off-road-legal status in all 50 states. Add it all up, and there’s no wonder the CRF50F is the powersports industry’s best-selling 50-class trailbike.
