Positioned in Husqvarna's minibike, cross motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Husqvarna CR65 relies on a 64.9 cc (4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 45.0 x 40.8 mm (1.8 x 1.6 inches) with a 9.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the CR65 measures 55 kg (121 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 750 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,130 mm (44.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.5-liter (0.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
