What is the seat height on a CR60?

[MikeT]

Someone is selling a 1984 CR60 that looks in pretty good condition but I am not sure how much bigger it is than my boys 2000 XR50.

Does anyone have any idea??

it'll probably be around the size of a KX60. i dont know the seat height for either, but id guess itd be about 29".

Thanks for that tip. I'll look it up for the KX60 to get an idea.

The CR85 is 32.4 inches
The XR50 is 21.6 inches

He is too tall for his XR50 but he is not ready in size or skill for an 85 so I am looking at this. I called the Honda dealer and although it doesn't need one now, he has a piston and rings set for the bike available.

if he's too tall for his XR50, id possibly look into getting him a KX65 or a XR/CRF70, XR/CRF80.

I've found a KX60 that I'm going to look at tomorrow. It has a seat height of 28.0 inches. He rode, (tried to ride) a KX65 and it is too tall for him. The seat height on that is 29.9 inches. I think the 60 might be good enough to last him about 2 years maybe.

A CRF 80 has a seat height of 28.9 inches. I was thinking that might be the right height for him so the 60 should work.

sounds good. getting him on a smoker early is the best thing you can do for him right now. :cool: :ride:

The seat height on the CR60 is about the same as the KX60. the 83-84 CR60R is a very rare bike that Jimmy Button actually had a hand in developing as a test rider back in 1982. If you find a clean one, GRAB IT. It will perform no differently in non-racing environments than the KX60, which did not change from 85 onwards.

I'd wager that a CR60 would still be competitive at the novice level in MX.
