HONDA CRF80F (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CRF was a series of four-stroke motocross motorcycles manufactured and marketed by Honda since 2000 as a successor to the Honda CR series. The CRF450R was the first of the series, followed by the CRF250R.

In 2004, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Honda launched the CRF80F, an intermediate step between the entry-level 50cc machines and the larger, more powerful ones. The bike was created for young riders, packing a punchy engine and great maneuverability. It was sold at an MSRP of $1,900 at the time.

In the visual department, the bike was similar to its smaller and larger siblings, offering standard features, such as wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires, a single seat, a high-mounted blacked-out exhaust system, and a high-mounted front fender.

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 27 mm leading-axle Showa fork on the front with 140 mm wheel travel and a Pro-Link swingarm with a single Showa shock absorber on the rear, providing 109 mm of travel.

The bike's braking power was achieved by an expandable drum braking unit, both front and rear, providing optimum stopping power.

The 2004 Honda CRF80F was powered by an 80cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted at its core. It was fed by a 20 mm piston-valve carburetor and assisted by a five-speed manual transmission linked to the rear wheel through a chain drive.
