Honda CR85R Expert reviews

I HAVE HAD THIS BIKE ABOUT A YEAR. BY FAR, THE BEST BIKE I've EVER HAD. AWESOME FOR BEGINNERS. I HAVE THE CR85 EXPERT AND I LOVE IT. I RECOMMEND IT FOR KIDS WHO ARE JUST STARTING. FREEWHEELNG IS AWESOME. Show less

This bike rocks! It is my firt bike and I'm glad I got it. I rode others like it but this is the best one. It is super fast for its size. And, I got used to it quickly so I think you would too. I would definitely recommend this bike to others looking for a very fast bike. Show less

This bike has some guts. I can wheelie it as far as the eye can see. that's not what your reading this for though, so, this bike isn't the best in sand but once you get to tar or hard intermediate ground, hang on. This bike will smoke any other 85's. If you're thinking about getting this bike, I definitely recommend it. Show less

This is a very good bike. It has plenty of torque and it is much easier to ride than a 2-stroke. I ride both 2 and 4- stroke bikes and I like this bike more than an 85. Show less

This bike is cool. I wish I didn't have to change the spark plugs so many times though. It takes some getting used to just like any other bike! I race it. I would say a person moving up and knows how to ride well should get this bike! Show less

This bike is awesome! I just moved up from a CRF100 and this bike is a great one. Thanks Honda! I will stick with you forever. I would recommend this bike to someone looking to move up or just starting. Show less

This bike is amazing. I hate it when someone asks what kind of dirtbike you have and you say a CR85 and they just underestimate it. Then, when you let them ride it, they don't know what hit them. I have put many miles on it for how long I have had it. Three fields surround my house so when the corn goes down the farmers get pretty angry. I am coming off of an XR80 and this is such a huge difference. The power is so hard hitting. If you are in the market for a bike, but you don't know if you should get a two stroke or a four stroke, go with a two stroke and get a CR85. Unless your not a good rider that can handle it.

Well, what can you say about the CR 85 except that it's amazing. The CR 85 is an extremely fast bike. I ride in my backyard a lot and I hit the power band in about 3rd and almost fall off. I really think this bike is wicked cool and is better by far from all the other minicycle 85s. The only reason I give it a four on performance is because it loves, and I means LOVES to foul the spark plug. It runs beautifully but if it isn't screaming it will most likely foul a plug, and it is very important to follow the maintenance schedule and you HAVE to have the gas ratio correct, make sure it isn't to lean or to rich, it will make a world of difference. I've had it for almost a month and have gone through 4 plugs, but it is mainly my fault for not getting it into the power band enough. Other then being very careful with the plugs, this bike is my favorite bike. Oh yeah, my friend has a YZ 85, and I let him ride my CR 85 and now he wants a CR, ha-ha. Show less

I've had this bike for a while and it always amazes me some how. It has almost all top end power and that means you get all the power from your power band; to go fast you need to be on your power band, but no doubt this is the fastest 85 around. If you're going far distances I don't suggest you do it - a lot of carbon will fill the space above your piston and blow causing your crankshaft bearings to come out. Overall is the greatest bike you can buy, but keep it on the track. Show less

The bike is a perfomance beast, alot of torque and acceleration and yet tons of speed to satisfy you for along time. You can trail ride, race competitivly, and jump with its incredibly light aluminum frame. It's a great bike for begginers with its unusually large power band and even better for the pro's from ages 12-15 and sometimes 16 the best bike you can buy period. Show less
