honda CR80 questions

yeah, that'd be what I have, but in all fairness I define a minibike as being something with like wheelbarrow tires on it, considering that, this bike is pretty much perfectly sized for me.

I wouldn't consider a CR80 a "mini". Hell, the Big Wheel version isn't much smaller than a 125 MXer.

50's and 65's are mini's. 80's are in-betweeners.

They are designed for kids. I'd think anyone over 150lbs would want a bigger bike.

That said, don't underestimate it. Once on the pipe, that "kids bike" won't hesitate to put you on your ass.

I have no idea on parts interchangeability.

IIRC, Bob's about 130lbs soaking wet... perfect for him.

They rank it by wheel size past the 50cc's.

ALL CLASSES ARE “4-STROKES BIKES, AIR COOLED ONLY”

The CR is a liquid-cooled two stroke.

It wasn't built as a play bike a pit bike or a toy.

It is as much an MX bike as your 250 or your 450.

Ya good luck with that. I'll stick both of mine when going 30+ft in the air.
