HERES THE DEAL

i just got a 05 crf with big bars, shock, blah blah
My friend loves to ride it but he is big as ****!! 6'2" and he weighs 270. yeah, big boy. he wants to get a little bike...what are your suggestions? hes doesnt like how big the 80 is so i was thinking a new crf70? can you still get big bars and upgrade the shocks on these like the 50's? any help is appreciated

 

yes you can upgrade everything on the crf70. they make just about every aftermarket part that the 50s have. do it

 

he likes the thought of the 70 cause its still slower than the 80 and if he falls going fast,,,,well the bigger you are the harder you fall..

whats a good site for 70 parts?

 

www.classichondausa.com they got everythign for almost every pit bike. the even got pats for old z50s and kawasaki 110 and more. good luck

 

I gotta '05 crf70, and it fits me fine..So far no mods, but then again, I'm only 5'8-5'9, 155 lbs. BBR doesn't have as many parts as the 50 from what I could tell. Theres the normal stuff like springs and what not, but I couldn't even find a bar kit.

I would recomend a 50 with the subframe riser kit. certain 70 parts are sometimes hard to find and has much diffrent balance points(harder to stunt because power to wheel base ratio) . I am 6'3 225 and own both a 50 and 70. Honestly i never stunt the 70 its just not as much fun. Just my

 

the thing is his knees are really close to the bars when he sits on my 12 bar.. so i think the 70 would fit better...

does the subframe riser make your seating better?

 

what about a 110

 

I have ridden the z50, and for me I prefer the 70. I had my pick of the 50 or 70 (or any mini for that matter) and picked the 70 because it fits better, and doesn't need as much to make it fun. You'll find it's not all about stunting, and without throwing down some cash, the 50 blows for anything but slow wheelies etc. The 70 is much easier to ride, but much harder to stunt, all though once I got used to the 70, I liked it more.

I Say Go With A Fiddy Setup, Add The Sik Triple Clamp Kit(big Bars) And Drop A Tb 88kit On There. That Thing Will Fly And Still Be Small Enough,and Comfortable To Ride.

I Got A Buddy That Is 350lbs And 6'1, And Rides A Stock Fiddy, With The Big Bar Upgrades. Looks Hella Funny,but It Dont Bother Him Any.

 

my point is that Ive got the BBR big bar kit and heavy rear shock and his knees still are too close to the bars.... he literally has to sit on the 12 bar and even then hes really close...

 

My uncle rode my stock 70, with little to no problem at all, and is 6'2, 220 lbs...Cant say he could do the same on the z...

Nah, the bigger you are, the less you slide

 

Dude...I'm 6'4" with a fast 50 bar kit and my knees are nowhere near the bars. i'm about 230-235
