For 1987, Honda’s aim was to tone down some of the old CR’s more brutish tendencies, while trying not to ruin the parts of the machine that had made it such an effective racer. For the engineers, that meant easier starting, slimmer bodywork, a smoother powerband and a better shock. If they could accomplish all of that, then they might be able to build the world’s perfect big-bore racer.
