The Honda CRF series is a line of motocross motorcycles
manufactured and marketed by Honda. The CRF
line was launched in 2002, as a successor to the
Honda XR series. They are a series of full sized
motocross bikes with liquid-cooled, single-cylinder
four-stroke engines that are available from 249
cc to 449 cc. The Honda CRF450R was the first in
the series, followed with the CRF230F in 2003, and
with the CRF250R in 2004. Further down the line,
the CRF450X and CRF250X bikes emerged, both designed
for mostly off-road use. They are considered among
the best motocrossers of their class, and have been
a leading seller since their introduction. As of
2006, the CRF series includes the 50F, 70F, 80F,
100F, 150F, 230F, 250X, 250R 450X, and 450R. The
