adjustable front forks and a five-speed gearbox.
Danny "Magoo" Chandler rode a CR480 when he won the 1982 ABC Sports Superbikers
race, where professional motorcycle racers from various racing disciplines
competed on a combination dirt and paved track.[3] and competed in the 1983
race.[4] Racer Steve Wise also won a Superbikers race with a CR480.[5] This race
was a precursor to modern Supermoto racing.
The 1982 CR480 had about 52 horsepower and was quite light for its horsepower,
at about 226 pounds. Magnesium parts were used for weight saving and the bike
had a hand-riveted air-box/air filter housing.
The bike is popular with historic racers that participate in American Historical
Motorcycle Racing Association events where competitive classes are run for the
