In saying the hereunder I haven't ridden a 150r or even tried one but a few thoughts!!!
I suppose we should look more seriously at the CRF150r Big and small wheel!!!
We've all been complaining about the lack of choice in a real bike in the short leg or short in experience bracket!
Honda may have made one for us and we still go off an buy 85's, try and mod them and put up with their less than perfect power delivery for trail riding. Or is this wrong??
Maybe if we supported this bracket others would enter into it!! Like an 85exc or a 125exc small wheel!! Pity its a bloody four stroke but in saying that I bought the heavy old CRF150F for my girl because it had the power that would be best for her even if I have to get off and lift it every time she falls off!
150R is still 18kg heavier than a 85 but 24kg lighter than the 150f. 833mm or 866mm seat height is good! Honda make good bikes??
Maybe this CRF150r deserves more attention. I've heard the gearboxes are a bit suss and do they need as much maintenance as say a 250r? Depends on the rider I suppose would you get 100+ hours outa one trail riding? I'd forgo the electric start if the rest fitted well or am I completly wrong are they really an MX bike!! I've heard they are all go or stop even for a four stroke and no good for enduro with the same frequent oil changes and cham maintenance etc???
Any other opinions to help crfchick??
Edit: Was talking to the local Honda dealer and he said MX bike all the way! 4 hour oil changes, Hi performance maintenance and MX power delivery! Apparently they go like a cut cat!
So bugger it! Still a big hole in the market!!
Still be good for you to try one out CRF chick and give us your feedback though??
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
