What are the crf150s like?

Question

better than a 125?

reliable?

im 15, 5ft 7

Answer 1

The 150r is a mini 250f. There nasty. Lots of power, but not really worth for your side. Even starting out as a beginner, the 125 is just a class above the 150r. The 150r's race with the 85's. I would look for a 125. The 150r's are nice, but not worth it for you....the 125 would just be worth the money.

Answer 2

THe crf150R is a great bike but for someone your age I would not suggest it as if racing it you would only get a year out of it and then not be allowed to race it.  Have a look at the 250f's as they would be more suitable for someone your age and size

My son just did the hattah desert race on the crf150r and was 9 minutes or approx 9 km ahead of second place who was on an 85cc.  He passed all the 2 stroke 125cc riders except one who had started first and half of the 250cc  4 stroke riders who had started before the 125cc riders.  The 150cc can be a very fast bike and here in Australia as it races against standard 85cc bikes is faster than the 85cc.  The bike would have been doing approx 100km an hour down the 2 km straight through desert sand and it averaged 75km an hour over the 162km race.   So they are a good bike in the right conditions.

Answer 4

over rated..over priced..over heavy..To make one fast...It takes to much money..Get a 250f

If you like 2-strokes get the cr250..

We just raced at Washougal this weekend and there were about 5 of the 150s in last place..They had there own battle going on..way in the back..

The big-bore 85s lapped them...

Answer 5

Don't get a 150, you're too old for it, if you plan on racing.  I'd get a 250 four-stroke. (If your gonna race, which I'm guessing you are, considering that this is the Motorcycle Racing section.)  Four-storkes are more reliable than two-strokes, but the parts are way more expensive.  Don't get a 125, get the 250 four-stroke.

Answer 6

get a 250two stroke you can now race them in the 250F class and it weighs less than a 250F and you'll always get the holeshot and its more powerful. the 150R sux
