HONDA CRF80F (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2005, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CRF80F, a small-displacement motocross machine, in its second production year. The bike was created for young riders, and unlike its smaller siblings, which packed a three-speed semi-automatic transmission, the 80cc model came with a five-speed manual unit.

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

The 2005 CRF80F was the same shape and form as the previous model, packing the same technical, performance, and visual characteristics without any modifications.

The visual department was characterized by standard fittings, like wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires, a single seat, a high-mounted blacked-out exhaust system, and a high-mounted front fender.

As for power, the 2005 Honda CRF80F had installed an 80cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted under the fuel tank. It was managed by a 20 mm piston-valve carburetor and assisted by a five-speed manual transmission linked to the rear wheel through a chain drive.

The bike's suspension system comprised 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.

At its release, the 2005 Honda CRF80F was for sale at an MSRP of $1,950.
