This week's Classic Steel is a look back at the 1983 Honda CR60R

my buddy raced one of those when we were kids. I have the yz50 and kx 60 and was jealous of that thing bitd

First time ever on a dirtbike, 84 CR60

Photo upload on mobile isn't working...

My little brother had one of those. They were so bad ass for their time.

We had one of these for my little brother but it was well past its time. It was back about 98 or so I would say. I think it was an '84. We went through it and stripped it down to the frame, painted everything and just made it look sweet. Wouldn't you know it some losers broke into our shop and stole it. Left the big bikes took the little one and it was the last time we saw it.

Awesome, I had one of those! Loved every minute of it.

My first bike too. I loved that bike but secretly always wished I had a KX. The KX60 seemed like much more of a race bike with more real suspension.

I still loved that Honda! My bike was always spotless, all the way down to every speck on the cylinder cooling fins.

Best dirtbike ever. The only pic I can find was on my FB.

Jimmy Button hauled a*! on that bike!

Me racing the bike back in the day, and as I found it about 6 months ago on Craigslist.

That is amazing to find your bike again after what has to be about 25 years... That is nuts. I have a caption for your race photo... "Go that way real fast.. If something gets in your way, turn"

the 84 CR60 was faster. IIRC it was bigger, too.
I had the Yamaha but wasn't racing yet. In fact, once the cylinder was trashed my dad stuck an (81?) YZ80 cylinder, piston, and carb on it.

Nikes, sweatpants, Jacksonville Jags jersey, no gloves, hands barely wrap around the grips. That's how I learned!

I did a little resto on one back in the day, such rad little machines, wish i had a pic when it was finished, this is all i have, doesnt do it justice.

This is the trickest one on the planet:
