I got this bike for my birthday and I love it. If you are thinking of getting a YZ, don't get it. The CR85 BIG WHEEL is way better in power, performance, and comfort. When I had my YZ, I had to snap the clutch just to do a wheelie but with the CR85 I just hit the throttle and it comes right up if I'm not in the front of the bike. My bike has a pro cirut platnium pipe and R304 silencer. I liked the YZ okay, but I love the CR85! Way better performance.

We own/ride/race 2 CR85's in local Harescramble and MX events. They are competitive completely stock and very durable when maintained correctly. My boys ride several times per week March thru December. Replace the stock bars and coat the swingarm pivot bolt heavily with anti-sieze before you ever ride it. Keep the filter clean and change tranny oil frequently. Have fun!

This bike is crazy. The power that this thing has doesn't even compare to the yz, kx, or sx. When you hit the powerband you are flying. It's way comfortable and perfect for the rider that needs a fast and reliable bike. I wouldn't say it's for beginners because it pretty much hauls.... read more

I was riding a 2003 CRF150, and decided to get the Honda CR85. The bike was unbelievably fast, like nothing I have ever ridden before. The power is absolutely awesome, it is light, comfortable, very reliable, and it handles so well. And it is so easy to maintain, use pre-mix, and transmition fluid. The only problem with the bike is the handlebars, they bend really easy, but that's it! I love my Honda CR85!

This bike is very fast out of the box. It had great power and suspension. This was my second bike and my first race bike. I have 20 times the fun on this bike than my old xr80r. I'm only 75 pounds so this bike never bogs down. The only thing that wasn't reliable about this bike was the sparkplug. The plug was kept fouling. I put br9eg in it and it never fouled since and it must have been at least 400 miles on that plug before I changed it.
