Crf50

The Honda CRF 50 is a lightweight, two‑stroke motorcycle produced by Honda for off‑road and recreational use. It is a small‑displacement machine, designed primarily for youth and entry‑level riders. The motorcycle has a 49 cc engine, a 6‑speed gearbox, and a chassis that is both durable and relatively lightweight. The CRF 50 was produced from 2000 to 2006, after which it was discontinued as a commercial product.

Introduction

The Honda CRF 50 is often known simply as the “CRF 50” in the motorcycling community. It is a simple, reliable, and low‑maintenance machine that has been used for youth motocross, training, and recreational trail riding. It has not been designed for high‑speed racing or heavy‑load applications, but rather for riders who need an affordable, easy‑to‑handle machine that can get them into off‑road motorcycling. This article covers the CRF 50’s history, design, specifications, and uses.

History and Production

Honda first introduced the CRF 50 in the early 2000s as a member of its CRF series, which traditionally included mid‑ and high‑displacement motocross and off‑road motorcycles. The CRF 50 was an entry‑level motorcycle with a 49 cc engine, intended for youth riders. Honda used the CRF 50 as a “starter” machine for both adult and youth riders who wanted a low‑power, inexpensive, and low‑maintenance off‑road motorcycle. Production of the CRF 50 ended in 2006, after which it was replaced by newer models in Honda’s lineup. The CRF 50 remains popular among collectors and those who appreciate its simplicity.

Technical Specifications

Below is a brief summary of the CRF 50’s main technical data. These figures refer to the standard model (CRF 50F) unless otherwise noted.

  • Engine: 49 cc, two‑stroke, air‑cooled, 2‑tuned carburetor.
  • Power output: ~3.5 hp at 9,000 rpm.
  • Weight (dry): 80 kg (approximately 176 lb).
  • Seat height: 830 mm (32.7 in).
  • Wheelbase: 1,190 mm (46.9 in).
  • Front fork travel: 3.5 in (88 mm).
  • Rear shock travel: 2.5 in (63 mm).
  • Fuel capacity: 1.5 gal (5.7 L).
  • Top speed: 45 mph (72 km/h).
  • Range: 30–35 mph (48–56 km/h) typical in off‑road usage.

Design and Features

The CRF 50 was designed to be simple, lightweight, and easy to maintain. The chassis is made from a combination of steel tubes and aluminum components. The motorcycle has a 6‑speed gearbox, a chain drive, and a standard front disc brake with a 6‑inch diameter. The rear brake is a drum brake with a 4‑inch diameter. The electrical system uses a 12‑volt battery, a 12‑volt alternator, and a standard headlight.

Performance

The CRF 50 has a modest power output, suitable for entry‑level riders. The motorcycle’s low weight and short wheelbase contribute to its agile handling. The CRF 50’s performance is more than adequate for youth motocross competitions and for trail riding. While it is not intended for professional racing, the CRF 50’s handling makes it a popular choice among instructors and enthusiasts.

Usage and Applications

Typical use of the CRF 50 includes:

  • Recreational trail riding.
  • Motocross training for youth and beginners.
  • Short‑distance commuting across rough terrain.
  • Collecting and hobby riding.

Legacy

The CRF 50 remains a popular machine for those who appreciate a low‑maintenance, entry‑level motorcycle. The machine has been praised for its reliability and ease of repair. The CRF 50 has a loyal following, especially among former riders who used it as a gateway to larger, more advanced motorcycles.
