HONDA CR85R (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CR85R, an off-road, small-displacement motorcycle created for young riders. It was in its third consecutive production year and packed the same specifications as previous models without any changes.

The Honda CR85R was a small-displacement off-road motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 2004. It was part of the CR series and powered by a two-stroke engine. The bike was discontinued in 2007 when it was replaced by the CRF150R four-stroke machine.

The bike was built on the proven basis of larger competition motorcycles. It offered plenty of usable punch in an easy-to-handle, inviting package, perfect for young riders who wanted to exercise their skills.

The 2005 Honda CR85R was powered by an 84cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by a 28 mm piston-valve carburetor and assisted by a six-speed gearbox linked to the rear via a final chain drive.

Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a 37 mm fully adjustable inverted Showa fork with 274 mm of travel and a Pro-Link swingarm tied to a fully adjustable Showa shock on the rear with 274 mm of travel.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires, a dual-sided swingarm, a high-mounted front fender, a single seat, and a single exhaust system with a high-mounted silencer.
