I'm pretty sure now, all the bikes have aluminum frames, but Honda came out with it before Kawie, Yamaha and Suzuki. If your gonna go used, I know all the way back to at least 1998 CRs had the alumnum frames. I always buy used stuff because I'm cheap, so that's what I would do, I've never had a Honda bike before though, only Kawies and Yamahas.

 

 

97 was the first year...and they sucked for turning. Straight line they were stable as all hell, and the motor flat out ripped.

But, turning was a joke. One lap they stuck to the rut like glue, the next you couldn't keep it in a run to save your life.

I had two brand new CRs in 97...loved 'em. I paid 'em off in '02, lost my job...and sold 'em.

 

For quite a few years, everyone said the 97 motor was the bomb, frame sucked...but, is has gotten better.

 

If you want a supercross type mount, 93 was still the best handling bike....

 

Those new 450s are fast as all get off now, though....
