Harley-Davidson Service Manual Honda xl-xrxrrepair-manual. This article from start to finish puts the bike down, if you were a club level rider and you bought one of theses your results instantly improved. They were the most modern looking and eye catching bike in The bike was good looking an I certainly thought they were cool at the time.
I am relying completely on the magazine tests of the time as to its performance and they were pretty hard on it in No matter what I write, someone will take exception with it because they liked it better than the editors at MXA or Dirt Bike.
You have to take any test with a grain of salt because they are based on the opinions of humans. Yea, I read all those same magazines back when the new Red Rockets came out. Along comes Fox and Simmons…….. What a change six week brings, huh? Anyway, it was still Honda quality that made everything else look shabby, very. Actually, as I recall, the magazines thought the motor was awesome.
Like nothing else that had avey been in the class before. I think magazines just like to blab. I think the internet is…well…. So Tony, why are we razzn you? Please read and reread this article.
Holy cats! No bike could be THAT bad, could it? Thanks for the beautiful pictures. I have not read this article in about 6 years but I am slowly going through and cleaning many of them up.
My writing has improved with practice and this is one of the first ones I wrote and there could, of course, be grammatical and writing errors certainly. I think that early on I took some amount to relish in piling on bikes that the magazines skewered and perhaps I leaned into that a bit too much. As I am going through and editing and redoing the older ones I am dialing that back a bit in an effort to be fairer in my prose.
Oh and one more thing. It has always been about the rider by a huge margin, but if all I did was say everything was great and said the performance of the bike was irrelevent than that would not make for very interesting reading. Opinions are like certain body parts. I just wanted to thank you for publishing these synopsis on old MX bikes. My first motocrosser was a 74 Elsinore I live in the past a lot, so you provide a way to travel back. Sometimes I wish I could just stay there.
I had a 74 elsinore when I was 15 years old. Bought it used. Then bought the 79 new out of the crate in I loved the 74, and the 79 was totally different ride. They were both great rides, and I miss both those bikes, they bring back a lot of good memories.
I agree with Joe, I wish I could go back, even for a short time. It was an awesome time Great bikes. Im 60 now and in the process of restoring a honda mt. Its as close as im gonna get to the cr. I bought a 79 used in 82 let me tell ya that was the first that had any semblance of midrange power all the other ones were rev to the moon time bombs. If you knew how to plant the front wheel in turns that was a badass bike. That bike with a 19 inch rear would have been more accepted.
Back then racers actually used cheng shins. In 78 that bike was awesome because Honda ran the 74 style al the way up to 78 and loyal red riders were ready for a makeover. I bought my first real bike and it was the 79 cr. From mini bike to this bike was awesome. Bought off an older guy who broke his arm while riding it said the powerband kicked in and that was it.
I had no Idea what that was but found out fast and I loved that bike. To me that bike was like old blue to Ralphy in Christmas story.
Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. The new motor suffered from carburetor issues and was the slug of the class. Photo Credit: Stephan LeGrand By the suspension revolution was in full swing with every year bringing more and more suspension travel to the bikes. The steel rear swingarm was prone to sever flexing and would bend enough to derail the chain.
The Ferrari red paint made a lot of promises the underpowered CR could not live up to. How would you like to have this much room to work on your CRF? The name would eventually be dropped in the early eighties. Unfortunately most of their innovations were flops in the marketplace and on the track. Tony Blazier.
