This bike replaced the 1981 Honda CR450R and was replaced with the 1984 Honda CR500

This bike is considered to be from the "post-vintage" era of historic motocross and is eligible to run in the AHRMA Ultima and similar classes for bikes with drum brakes, air-cooled engines and linkage suspension. It has the kick starter on the left side of the bike.

Front suspension was 43mm Kayaba (KYB) with 3-position adjustable compression damping.

1983[edit | edit source]


The CR480R-83 was sold in 1983 in Flash Red. The seat was blue with a white "CR" graphic. The "480R" swingarm decal was black. The rear section of the frame was detachable.
