The Honda CRF 110F is the second smallest dirt bike in the Honda lineup. Most people start their kids out on the Honda CRF 50F and then transition to this bike. They don’t transition to this bike because it’s a natural progression, they transition to this bike because it’s the only thing Honda has to offer. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a terrible bike, but I don’t love it since it is so big, wide, and heavy. Your kid will be much, much too big on their Honda 50 before they can feel comfortable on this bike. I just think there should be a middle ground between the 50 and the 110 in the Honda lineup.
Once you are able to get past the size and your kid gets a little taller and a little stronger, this bike will treat them right on the trails. It has electric start, which is really nice for my daughter because she has the confidence that she can start it on her own. It has a back up kickstarter which make me very happy for when the kids leave the key on and the battery goes dead (like every time). This little bike has no clutch, and a 4 speed semi-auto transmission to pull the kids around. The motor must have been adapted from some sort of lawn tractor application because not only does it have a ton of torque, it’s also far wider than I’d like it to be. With the motor being very wide, it’s not a narrow platform any any means. The result is that your kids will have a harder time touching the ground with both feet until they get a bit taller.
This certainly isn’t a racing bike. It is a trail bike. It works fine for my 11-12 year old daughter, but my boys (6 and 9) are far more aggressive riders than her. With that being the case, I’m looking for other alternatives for them like used KTM 50s (2 strokes with about the same seat height). This bike came in at 161 lbs. That is disappointing since some of the full frame size 125cc dirt bikes are around 200 lbs.

Kids? I’m 44, 6’2 200lbs and waiting on my 110 to come in. 🤣 it’ll go great with my 450. 🙂
great to see all the kids having a blast at the end
You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Beau Kyle instablaster ;)
@Avery Iker i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Avery Iker it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Beau Kyle you are welcome =)
About 5 years ago, I purchased a 98 XR70 for my kids. That bike has been ultra reliable. No e-start, but it's easy to kick start. My daughter has no issues at all kick starting this bike. It's the one bike in my fleet that's never had the carb off of it due to gumming.
Looks like Utah scenery. No clutch, Fuel injected, Honda's reliability, sounds like the perfect bike to get my 9 and 12 year old out on a bike for the first time. Should be a nice Christmas gift.
I had a 2004 Honda CRF150F when I was younger and you are right about those little Honda's in that they are bulletproof ! I put thousands of hours on that bike and it still ran great when I finally sold it in 2011
This is exactly what I need thank you for reviewing in to help me out
Damn even the kids bikes have electric start. I'm jealous😂 450 can be a bitch to start
3:11 Ummmmm.......
lol sounded bad didnt it... thats how the news channels take peoples quotes out of context haha
Off subject but Dirt bike channel and sporting a BCM shirt. NICEEEEEEE 🤙🏻🤙🏻👍🏻👍🏻
But some gay jeans, he don’t shoot.
I got a 70 when I was 10, rode that for about a year then got a Honda 80 so I could learn how to use a clutch, sold that and went about a year and a half without riding. During which time I grew like 6 inches then I got my 300 when I was 13. Let me tell ya, going from an 80 four stroke to a 300 2 stroke was one hell of a transition. 4 years and several crashes later I love the bike even more than when I first got it
3:10 lol
mick muller if he needs to grab a kid lol
Ahhhhhhhh I’ll Ovid that hood
Hahahahahaha
Yeah I'm gonna go grab a kid on this because it's more comfortable
Haha lol that’s what I thought
3:10 " grab a kid when im IN the neighborhood"
Great video Kyle. I really enjoy your channel. I'm teaching my daughter to ride her Honda 50 and just bought my son a CRF 70. I was gonna get him a 110, but thought it might be a bit heavier for him due to the engine size and battery (he's 9). If you're ever up here in Washington I'd love to go riding with you. Keep up the great work. Nothing better than riding with your kids and making great memories.
This answered basically all the questions I had regarding this bike for my kids, thanks so much!
Just bought one of these for my 10 year old. All the 110’s from the big 3 weight about the same. I liked this one for the Fuel Injection. Keep it nice and simple
Looove your vids man, especially those with the kids :)
3:10 sounds a bit wrong
4:45 I can’t stop laughing at how he stuttered
I had a choice between a Honda 110 vs an xr70 I bought the xr70 because it's motor and bike are made in Japan not China like the new 110. He was to tall for his crf50 and he's only 9 lol.
But you know Honda is Japanese right? Where it’s made doesn’t matter. A lot of Toyota’s are made in the USA and they are still reliable.
Thanks for the video Kyle, you really have a great way of explaining these bikes. It sucks when you ride a bike that’s as wide as two counties. 😂
That's crazy to my, I'm 13 and I'm on a 2017 KTM 250xc-f. I started on a 1977 XR75 then a 2005 crf100f then a 2012 150RB and now my 250
Triple Threat MotorSports that's crazy, I had the same 2 first bikes as you but slightly different years. My 3rd bike was a crf250r and for a short while I had a crf450x until I went to college when I sold it
Actually looking at comparing the CRF110 and KLX110 for my daughter right now. She likes the KXL110 but she hasn't seen the CRF yet. She didn't like the TTR110. Electric start, automatic are the main features and possibly a governor to limit speed. The CRF is supposed to have that, not sure about the KLX or if you could get it as it may just be a throttle twist limiter.
I have one and a KLX 110. Great bike for my 10 year old, wife and me for the occasional neighborhood riding 👍🏻biggest motor I believe that you can buy without a clutch. It’s true, you want something easy to ride and easy power with young ones starting out. You don’t want to scare them or get frustrated. They are heavy but my 10 year old boy can pick it up when laid down with out issue. Then they won’t want to ride if the first bike scares them and that’s no good.
You should do a review on the Honda crf150r
Also if you put a FMF exhaust on it and put on a mega bomb exhaust pipe it would be loud but I agree with you !
The fact that it is a trail bike has everything to do with the weight difference. You can’t compare a 2 stroke kids race bikes weight up against a trail bike of the same size.. but nice video glad to see your daughter is loving it. Have fun and ride safe!
Good review, I got this bike for my 7 year old who had outgrown her PW50. Great bike, but I agree, it is super heavy. Kyle mentions that is not very powerful, and yes it is a fairly sedated power curve, but this motor has TORQUE!. Hills that could not even be attempted on the 50 are no problem on the 110.
Thanks for the info. I think i will be getting this for my daughter at Christmas as long as her school grades are kept up.
I took the crf110f for a test ride today, it was awesome!!! I totally reccomend it
What’s ur age?
Here’s the real review: bars- soft, needs upgrade, ignition- needs a digital aftermarket to help startups, carb- needs larger pilot and main jet, rear brakes- needs softer/more aggressive pads (stock just squeak and work poor), find the one with larger wheels, these changes make a big difference in starting, running, stopping, and crashing. Where improvements need to be made
I’m getting this bike for Christmas!
Unknown Pilot737 WOW! You're a real lucky duck! 👍😁
Thank you for making this video I might get one of these for my b day
I was thinking the dam same thing
It's amazing how they made the 110's a smaller bike.
I remember buying my son a CRF 100F and it was about the height of a CR 85R big wheel
Now that I look closer it resemble's a CRF 70 just more cc's
Tremendous. Believe me. Yeah noticed when he said in video haha. I wasn't paying attention to that part
This is my bike to go and grab a kid in the neighbourhood 🤣
Like you said it's a trail bike and that's where it's meant to be ridin, woods, mud, hill climbs, sand, etc. A heavier bike for smaller lighter riders is usually better for them in muddy trail conditions.... "usually". Alot depends on your experience level too of course.
Great video.
Very helpful. I am buying this same bike for my daughters 11th birthday! She’s moving up from a Coleman ct100u minibike! 😆
just got one yesterday for my sons birthday
My first dirtbike was a Honda 70 in a 50 body when I was 7-8 and I'm 13 and riding a ttr125 le now
Great video. Thank you. I just ordered one today! BTW, where is this trail? pretty cool easy riding. Looks similar to Crescent Lake Oregon....
Your videos are great
i have a ktm 85 sx what do u think of them for a bike
get your kids a ttr125 light weight for a trail bike 185 used for the model with no electric start with electric start can be 198 lbs not to much heavier than a 110 but it does have a pretty noticable power differance it also has a clutch my dad rides it around and loves it.
Total looks like my back yard in Spanish Springs Nv. Good video
Just bought a 06 yz85. My last bike was a klx110L and I can say they're heaps of fun to learn on, but I would defiantly go for the clutch instead of semi-auto, start them earlier.
Tom Sharpe Got an 06 YZ85 yo.
I have a 70 and it’s the best now I’m on a crf150r
Big boys yeah
How come is so dang heavy? So many bigger bikes are that weight or lighter
what is the difference between the XC, CR and CRF bikes? my first bike was an XR70 and I remember seeing the CRF version but I was also little so i didn't think to care.
do the 2019 ttr110
i went thru a similiar issue with my boys.you are right,those are kind of pigs..maybe look at a yamaha pw80.my youngest rode one for quite some time.i put a fmf pipe and reeds in it and was pretty good...next ,we went for a suzuki ds/jr 80..those are getting hard to come by now though....the suzuki has a taller seat height than the yamaha pw80,but the yamaha has a smoother running motor.
What's your view on the Hondas main competitor the KLX110? I had one and I loved that little thing!!! Just curious how they compare
Nice review. Looks to me like Honda is reusing the 110 that was on the 3 wheeler back in the day (with a slight redesign). And that was a pretty wide engine with the semi-auto clutch. The e-start also makes it heavy like you pointed out. Too bad it doesn't have the hi-lo switch like the 3 wheeler, that would be fun. I think the best jump from bikes would be the CRF50 to the CRF125F (sticking with trail bikes that is...) since the 110 is slightly taller, might as well move to that 125F and have a proper box to bang gears.
CRF70 was a much better bike for the young ones.
I bought my boys a CRF 80 back in the day, which was a better design, although it did not have the auto clutching.
should i get 450 cc or less ? .... im driving of road, trail ride how you call it .... like 20-30 % i like driving on open roads i go everywhere but the point is that im not using just for of road im using it for everything cuz i like driving enduro bikes and i like the four stroke ones ty
I had one of those once and i have taking it on Black diamonds
This is my Choice of bike if I need to grab a kid
just ordered one should be here in april
Did you get a skid plate to protect the exposed exhaust plumbing?
Hay the 110 is my bike and I’m good at riding I can do big jumps
That’s cool
that is cool it has electric start... but if the electric start don't work, will the kick starter turn the bike on even if the battery dead? ohh and do u leave the batteries on a charger? because sometimes I might not ride for a couple of months... :(
Can you put different grips on the 110?
That would be illegal. 3 to 5 years for first offense. DON’T DO IT
did you have to get all these bikes registered and get plates? I live in san diego CA, and im in east county with two boys who i would LOVE to get inot trail riding if nothing else. we're in a suburban area BUT we have foothills and easy trails all immediately around us and i am looking for something to take them out on myself. My 10 year old boy has a small razor dirtbike that he loves but no one else to go out with besides me. I need something that i can trail ride on like this and then be able to come back down out of the mountains into our residential area and get back home on when need be. Would this bike be a good choice for a 5'9 180 pound adult? I dont want to have to register it with the DMV but will if it is needed. thanks! love the video! new subscriber!
im a 10 year old and looking to get into riding i never rode before can you recommend a bike for me please and where can you get them
in my country malaysia, the motor seem to be same as use on honda 'wave dash 110'...its a moped ... you can search it on youtube and look it..
I am 12 years old so is this a good bike for me (I also pretty much just started)
Also is 1850 a good price for the Honda crf 110 2018 model
Nick Raw yes
Yea it's good but if you're 12 you will need a 125cc engine
@@dannyboy9808 If he just started, the Honda CRF110F is a good bike to start on. He can sell it in 3 years and then maybe upgrade to a 125.
i got mine yesterday
Honda crf125 please!!!
which would be best for an 12 year old
This bike:)
Crf125f
So basically is automatic transmission? I wanna get one of this to learn to drive bikes due I was a little bit old for a big ride, I don't wanna die at this moment 😆😆
Thank you
The only thing I hate about my crf110 is when I’m riding the engine gets really hot and it’s starts to slow cook it
I’m 160cm and don’t care about price I can ride a bike what do you guys recommend
I'm 10 and I got it for my 10th bday
Hey Kyle just wanted to say thanks I been enjoying your videos , was just wondering where you are located you ride some beautiful scenery
My battery is dead but it still won’t kick start I’m not sure why I’m 15 it’s just my play bike but it won’t kick start my battery has to be charged for it to work at all
KLX110L would be my choice as a play bike. Clutch and aftermarket support is vastly superior.
and the extra 2 inches of travel is a plus on a bike that small lol
Does it has an electric start and kick start?
I showed my mom and she is reconsidering me getting a dirt bike she is also a worry wart so I get it lol
Can you tweak a crf125f enough to race it?
I bought for my a 2015 CRF 110 as well. My wife rides sometimes and my 10 year old. Great easy bike to ride without a clutch. I believe the largest you can buy with out one. My one problem is when the motor is cold I have a hard time getting it into first gear?? Anyone else have this problem.
my friend has that one I might get one for my birthday
The 110 is very hard to find and if you do its cost $2500 used best to get a 70 and put a big bore kit
Can you recommend any riding gear for 13 yo daughter?
is the shift pattern 1 down and 3 up? or is all 4 up?
four up
Can you make a video what you recommend for the first dirt bike. I am 15 years and want something fast but also durable. (its not the first time I ride a dirt bike)
Lets get some more statistics
Age?
Height?
Weight?
Budget?
Strength?
Answer these and it might be easier to answer.
Anton Pearse I am 1.80cm and I weight 65kg. 15 years old. am quite strong.
Emanuel Johansson get a 230. Very low maintenance but if you do a few things to it you can make it a bit more powerful and fast
Emanuel Johansson xr 250 or xr400, more than enough power for a beginner for trail, reliable and solid, had a xr400 and it was cheap to buy and strong, i resell it 500$ more, cost me nothing to try dirtbike.. crf230 is a good choice too, no need for a ktm 300 or 500 for your first bike
CRF 230 is the choice.. cheap, reliable, not so fast though, but great for learning new stuff
How do u even start it bc in getting one for Christmas so plz tell me how to start it
Kick it shift go
I just bought my daughter a 2021 crf 110 and it's very powerful and has zero hesitation. I'm trying to find a way to slow it down.
Not sure if the 21 has it but the 18 has a throttle limiter
and another great video
What is that sticker on the side that says 2017?
Thanks for the great content. Looking to upgrade 7 (soon to be 8) year old twins pw50. I am torn between the Honda 110 and the KTM 50. They want to be like dad and ride a KTM but, I'm looking for longevity. Any input would be greatly appreciated (didn't find your review of the KTM 50). Thanks again, enjoy the moment. Mike.
Is this bigger in size than the Honda 80 plz tell me ?
No, the 80 is bigger than the 110.
did honda make a 110 with a clutch?
Whats a good used bike for a tall 12 yr old who hasn't ridden yet?
C Dub crf150rb
KLX110L FTW
What size are the swing arm bushings
Does it have a kick start
why dose it have no cluch
good video kyle
how many bikes do you have?
Aaand if you're doing this with kids and stuff - Why not make that your job? Driving lessons, trail lessons, weekend outings and stuff like that :)
