I have a cr80 big wheel mx, it has a 19" front wheel which i believe to be not the normal size and was fitted to only certain years. Is this bike known as the cr80 Expert model, or is the Expert different in more ways and if so what ways? The colour is not the usual Honda red, but a sort of fire red? you know the one it's got an orange hint to it, and with the original blue seat is quite distinctive to that era. I'd like to touch up worn paintwork on the frame so any ideas where to get some of the necessary paint, and what is the name of that colour.
Thanks in anticipation.

From the sound of your "blue seat" the CR80 you have must be an 80's model. Back in those days, if a "big wheel" 80 existed, it was probably a factory bike or the previous owner decided to try the larger wheel on the front because of a "new" idea.
The bigger wheel on the front makes for better turning and handling for those kids who have gotten older and larger and faster, but were not ready to move up to the 125cc class. Also, the larger wheel has a larger brake rotor, which in turn means better front brake system and better stopping power for those "faster" kids.
It's been some time since i worked for a Honda dealership, but I believe in those days the paint color was accually called "Honda Orange". I could be mistaken. Get the frame number off the steering yoke and call it in to your nearest Honda dealer to see what year the bike is if you don't know. They can also tell you the color and can order you the paint in a spray can. This color used to be available through an after market company as well such as Tucker Rockey or Parts Unlimited. As far as I know, the color is still available. Good Luck!

1983? No more then about $400 (£210 ish) You say "they" is it from a dealer? If so, take a rider along with you who knows the bike. Ask for a little test ride.

Always give "year', make, engine size and model # when askimg questions. We need all of that info to research your question.
