HONDA CRF80F (2008-2009) 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.

The Japanese motorcycle maker Honda released the 2008 Honda CRF80F, an off-road, small-displacement machine created for young riders who wanted to take the motocross world to the next level. The 2008 Honda CRF80F was for sale at an MSRP of $2,100.

The 2007 model year came in the same shape and form as previous ones, packing the same characteristics without any changes. Unlike the smaller 70 and 50cc models, which packed a three-speed semi-automatic transmission, the 80cc model featured a five-speed manual unit.

Its visual department was characterized by standard fittings, like a high-mounted front fender, a single seat, a high-mounted, blacked-out exhaust system, a dual-side swingarm, side panels with CR-styled decals, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

The 2008 Honda CRF80F's muscle came from an 80cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted under the fuel tank. The engine was assisted by a five-speed manual transmission linked to the rear end via a final chain drive.

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.
