My son rides a CR80 Expert (not even an 85), and it is fast. Crazy
fast. F'in crazy fast. It's faster than a neighbors' KX100 by a long
shot. The little bikes are sensitive to jetting, however, and our 80
is jetted absolutely perfect - minor changes made big differences,
primarily in low and mid - 1/4 turn of the air screw makes the
difference between being unridable in the woods and chugging down low
like a 4-stroke. I'm getting more and more convinced that all the poo
about Hondas being relatively slow in general (like the poor beaten
down 125s) are primarily because the Honda stock jetting pretty much
stinks (probably worse than the other brands), and few know enough to
get them running right.

You've already had the answer - none of them. Why anyone would want
such a tiny thing I can't imagine.

You'd be safe I suspect. It's those naughty schoolgirls he likes to
punish.
