These bikes are bullet proof. Lije you mentioned might do rings and valve seals once in a while but last for over 40years. I have an 1982 model which is basically same core engine. Bought it used and thing takes 1-2kicks to start. Original clutch. Feels faster than it is. Top speed around 70kph...with an adult. I'm 5ft 8 and about 170lbs. It takes my weight but you'd need heavier front springs in forks to accommodate adult weight on jumps. Alot of xr100 suspension parts are interchangeable to give a modest lift. Really nothing bad to say about bike. A nice affordable and reliable lil beast.
I Just got my 03 XR80R this month for the same price. Great bike so far but the previous owner neglected some things like a mouse nest in the air box. Any warnings I or any other owner could know about?
biolj Not really, they are bulletproof bikes. Just keep up with the maintenance and make sure it doesn't burn oil. Also see if the cam chain has slack and rattles around when you drive.
Hi man! I found one on Facebook for $1000 in pretty good condition. It would be my first bike but it looks pretty sweet. Do you think that’s a good deal?
I believe my best friend had this same bike dose it have a clutch? I know his had clutch I had xr50r 1983 his was 2000 something I know it wasn't 2 stroke it was 4 stroke 70 or 80 with a clutch. I would like to find one like he had that thing cruised if I remember correctly lol.
Just a Keihin carb from eBay. It costs around $30, so its pretty cheap. I don't know if this is the exact one I got or not: www.ebay.com/itm/PZ20-KEIHIN-Carburetor-Honda-XR80-XR80R-Dirt-Bike-Tuned-Complete-Carb-1979-2003-/113289789219

Seems a little bit pricey, but it all depends on how good of shape it's in and how well it's been maintained. If it looks showroom quality then it's pry a good deal. I sold this one for $900 i think and it was in good shape. I haven't looked at the market for these for a couple years though so i don't know if they're going up in price or anything like that.
@@berky3760 Yeah I'm sure $1200 is a fair price for an 09. See if you can negotiate the price down on either bike. Either way you'll be getting a great bike.
My neighbor is selling me one for 900, it just needs a spoke replacement on the rear wheel, would this be good for someone who is 5'8? Also I'm new to dirt bikes, so this would be my first.
I think it would be hard to get this bike to comfortably go over 60 for any period of time. If you want that kind of speed at your size, you probably want a 2 stroke 80cc
Yeah it took me a bit to even get out of first gear when I first got it, but you'll get used to it and get comfortable riding it with practice. Have fun!
Yo u wont believe this. I just bought this same bike same year. I am also 15 and 6 foot 1. What carb did you use if you dont mind replying because mine is leaking fuel out of the overflow. (i think the float is stuck). Anyway PEACE
I was 5'10" at 15... Only problem was I stopped growing by my 16th birthday at 5'11" lol. Most of my friends were full grown by 16 as well. I'm still the same height today at 41, obviously... Just above average, so I can't complain lol
I trail rode one of these brand new at 13 or 14 yrs old, it was fine power wise but the trails i ride had too deep of ruts for the small tire size and i found myself having to avoid deep ruts or get wedged hard on my pegs, shifter and brake lever.
@@kombatboiiii5747 I'm not sure I never really tried to measure it, probably will do 50 if you wanted to but it was more comfortable around the 20-30ish range I'd say

my neighbor has this bike and it’s really nice to learn manual on. we took about 20 kick to get it started today idk how you got it first kick😂
You need luck 😂😂
It is pretty fast it is not to tall or to short it is pretty fun.

Am getting one of these for Christmas hopefully, buying it for 1000.

I’ve got one of these, great, reliable lil bike. Highly recommend for beginners.
Good video thanks. Looking for one for my kid, you told me every I wanted to know.
Thanks for the feedback!
Mines in the shop needs rings never would start but we’re getting it going
Got the bike back today and the dude didn’t fix it 🤦♂️ now I’ve gotta work on it or pay again to get it worked on

Nice just got one for 550 03, wish it was a 100. The 03 xr100r was my first dirt bike over 10 years ago.
Frankie Marchese Nice, yeah the XR'S are great bikes
Great job. Love the Video! Great bike.
I got that excat dirt bike from face book a couple weeks ago
Just picked one up 😎
I have a 2000, I wanna sell it and get a 125 or a 150. My brother had a 150 that I would’ve loved but he sold it
I have a 1999 xr80r as my 1st bike it's sad not meny people take care of the old ones ;-;
how much money did this cost, and where did you get it. I am probably going to get one. *Please respond* thanks
Susie Morales I believe it was around $900 when we got it. We got it from a Craigslist seller I think.

RCCR are these about same size as the XR 100’s .. ?
Hi man! I found one on Facebook for $1000 in pretty good condition. It would be my first bike but it looks pretty sweet. Do you think that’s a good deal?
Nice! That's probably about the average price for one in good shape that runs good, so if it all checks out it should be a good deal
@@rccr23 Thanks for the response, the only problem is that it’s 2 and a half hours away and the seat has a tear

Yes this one has a clutch
Hello, what's the top speed ?
P.S.
Nice bike 🏍👍Good review. 👍
Thanks, I'm not honestly sure what the top speed is, I never tried it out. Probably somewhere in the 30 mph range
@@rccr23 wayyyy off lol my xr 80 hit 45 stock
I have the same exact bike but mine is only 1 down 3 up
Is it a manual with a clutch?
Very good video!
Thanks!
@RCCR. Found an add with this video link. Is it still available?

Do you think a 2003 Honda xr 80 for 1200$ is worth it?

Yeah this is definitely a great first bike and should fit you well
@@rccr23 awesome, thanks man
I’m 220 and I have 2 crf50’s I ride everyday and I hit 30mph on it easy lol
Do you think it has enough to pull a 200lb 6'1" person?
Yeah I'd say so. I was 6'1 and about 160lbs in this video and it pulled me around just fine as you saw.
@@rccr23
Nice. Ty. Your bigger now? Damn! 👍
No problem, and I'm just a little bit taller now, I'm still waiting on another growth spurt haha
drumtwo4seven it pulled my dad when I was younger and he was bigger lol
hey man I got the same bike just 2002 model where did you get that tachometer?
I just got it off eBay I believe, it wasn't expensive at all
RCCR how did you get it to attach to the bike? Just glue?
It comes with an adhesive pad attached to the unit that you just stick on
do you think it would fit someone who is 5 foot 6 in good?
Yeah I think it would be a good size
Naw man if u want a race bike u need a yz 85 or any other 2t 85 etc.
I’m 13 5’4 and 100lbs. Would this bike be good for me?
Yeah I'd say it's the perfect size for you. It's super easy to ride and pretty lightweight
RCCR Where can I get one?
Look on craigslist or cycletrader, you can probably find a pretty good deal on one of those
RCCR Okay thanks! And how many feet is it from the ground up?
Np, and as for the size, I honestly can't remember, I say the seat height in the video at some point though
I have the same bike and same year with the same shifter
Hey pal I’m getting one tomorrow I’m 5,5 is this a good size ?
Yeah I think it would fit you pretty good
@@rccr23 alright sweet I’m getting one tomorrow for 750 thanks for getting back bro
Anyone know how fast you’ll go on one of these I’m thinking of getting one but I wanna do at least 60 with bigger sprocket I’m only 110 pounds
I think it would be hard to get this bike to comfortably go over 60 for any period of time. If you want that kind of speed at your size, you probably want a 2 stroke 80cc
no way he is 15 his arms have more hair then my dads 😂
Hey what about someone 5,9 5,10 ish? Would I fit?
Yeah you should be good
@@rccr23 ok thx
What type of gas does it take
Just regular. Which in Texas is 87 octane, but in other places where 86 is regular that would probably be fine too
How much does it cost?
You can find these anywhere in the range of $800-1800 I'd say depending on condition
@@rccr23 thank you my friend was wondering
I just got this bike. Its my first bike and its hard to ride. Do you think ill get the hang of it?
Yeah it took me a bit to even get out of first gear when I first got it, but you'll get used to it and get comfortable riding it with practice. Have fun!
Mine has an ioel leek i need to get a 125 because the 80 is a little slow.
stupid crap with friends Yeah I'm in the same boat, I actually sold this one cause it was too small
RCCR ya im hoping to get a new one one day we have a 1980s xr100 for sale. We just bought a honda 230 a few months back.
stupid crap with friends Nice! I've been looking into the 230, how do yall like it?
RCCR I'm selling mine I'm getting a 150
RCCR you’ll like the 230 man, you can pick those things at most for 2000 almost brand new, one I’m getting is 1k flat.
Yo u wont believe this.
I just bought this same bike same year. I am also 15 and 6 foot 1. What carb did you use if you dont mind replying because mine is leaking fuel out of the overflow. (i think the float is stuck). Anyway PEACE
Sounds familiar haha, I used a keihin carb off of ebay. It was like $25 or so If I remember right. Just search up 2003 xr80r carb and it will show up.
is this bike good size for you? I'm also 15 but 5'8 and looking for first trail bike
6'1" at 15? NBA/NFL!!!

Fantastic bike until you get stuck in a rut because of the small tires, but if your not riding real black diamond type trails youd be fine.
