The Honda CR85 is a lively 85cc two-stroke motocross bike built for juniors stepping up into serious off-road racing.
Typical specs:
Displacement: ~84.7 cc

Front suspension: inverted forks
Seat height: ~823 mm (standard) to ~864 mm (Expert variant)
Weight: ~65–66 kg (dry / depending on variant)
These are rough ranges. Always check with the manufacturer or an official source for the specific model year you’re looking at.
The CR85R (2003–2007) and CR85RB “Expert” variant earned praise for sharp handling, responsive top-end power, and a nimble chassis. The Expert model extended suspension travel and wheel size, making it better for larger riders while maintaining agility. Some riders praise its “razor-sharp handling” and raw two-stroke personality in tight, technical tracks.
Engine & hours
Ask whether any racing modifications (pipe, porting, carb tuning) have been applied — overly aggressive mods can over-stress reeds, pistons or crank bearings. Reed petals and reed blocks can degrade with time; check for wear, air leaks or cracking. Older models may require careful jetting adjustments, especially in varying altitude or climates — incorrect jetting is a common source of poor running or engine damage.
Chassis & suspension
Inspect frame welds at head tube, swingarm mounting, linkage bearings, and shock mount points for cracks, fatigue or repair marks.
