Vehicle Information
Honda CR500R Dirt Bike (1984-2001)
The Honda CR500R, produced from 1984 to 2001, is a legendary two-stroke, single-cylinder dirt bike renowned for its immense power. It was offered as a single model, with yearly updates rather than distinct trim levels. Its engine displacement remained consistently around 491cc throughout its production. The CR500R underwent significant evolution. The 1984 model was air-cooled with a rear drum brake. A major shift occurred in 1985 with the introduction of water-cooling. In 1987, the rear drum brake was replaced by a disc brake, and front forks were upgraded. Further refinements in 1989 included a redesigned cylinder head and the adoption of upside-down forks. From 1993 onwards, development slowed, and horsepower was intentionally “mellowed out” to approximately 56 hp, partly due to the discontinuation of AMA 500 motocross races. Suspension components also saw changes, with Kayaba forks replacing Showa in 1995. FAQ:
