HONDA CRF80F (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2007, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CRF80F, an off-road, small-displacement, entry-level machine created for the youngest Honda fans. It had big-bike features like a manual clutch and a five-speed transmission.

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 first of the series was the CRF450R, followed by the CRF250R.

The 2007 model year packed the same characteristics as previous models without any changes. It was in its fourth consecutive production year and was sold at an MSRP of $2,070.

The bike's aesthetic department was characterized by 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.

The 2007 Honda CRF80F was powered by an 80cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine, 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.

Suspension-wise, the small machine 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.

For braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with an expandable drum braking unit, both front and rear, offering optimum performance.
