honda CR80 questions

[BobTheBiker]

alright guys, I got some questins here.

I'm getting a 94 Honda CR80 dirtbike, and I'm wanting to know, what years will interchange in terms of parts? or are they all pretty much the same?

I'm told it needs a little tranmision work, so I'm just going to replace the tranny and rebuild the old one when I'm not busy and have money pretty much.

am I truly the only person on here that actually owns a dedicated dirt bike?

Go here Then you can cross reference the parts with other years.

No.. But technically you own a minibike.

how the hell do you figure this? the CR80 isnt by any means physically compact machine at all. the XR80 is a minibike technically I think. this is more of the 30" seat height and lotta suspension travel shit.

This generation bike right? Its barely the headlight height of a truck. That's a mini bike in my book.

And these guys...

But the easiest test you can take is trying to clear a double with a full-size adult on the vehicle that should be easily done an a 125 2-stroke or 250 4-stroke bike. There's some AMA classification ruling as well, but I don't feel like digging up.

I think you're confusing a motocross bike with a dirtbike. Dirtbikes are motorcycles you ride in the dirt. Motocross, enduro, off-road, etc are sub classes of dirtbikes.

Kind of like motards, sportbikes, cruisers, standards etc are sub classes of street bikes.

I have to somewhat agree with this in that even my sons CR85RB punched out to 101cc is called a Supermini (hence the words mini).

However the statement about jumping a double with an adult on it, you would have to classify adult. My son is almost 17 weighs 130 and at our local track jumps the Supermini over an up hill triple with the throttle pinned. The distance jumped is 75 feet.

On that the fast kids on the KTM 50's are jumping the same jump.

The CR85 makes a great woods bike or MX bike as is out of the crate. Just depends on the riders skill and weight. My son is on the upper limit for the bikes suspension and it has been modified for his weight. if you are wondering or not he also races his CRF250R, but is faster on the CR101.

We own dirt bikes but I do not know the answer to your question - sorry.
