When are the other 150 motocross bikes going to come out!?

Question

i was wondering when the other brands of 150's will FINALLY come out? i looked up kx150f on google images and saw a few pictures of it but im guessing that was in japan. so when are the other brands like kawasaki going to come out with thier 150 just like honda did? (CRF150R) please help.

Answer 1

I spoke with some of the factory Yamaha guys about that at Loretta Lynn's this past year and they said Yamaha had no plan on producing one unless the AMA changed the rules to allow the 150 to compete in the 85 stock class. My guess is that the other manufacturers feel the same way. The shop I ride for has about 10 left over 2007 models that never sold. The future of the 4 stroke mini doesn't look real promising at the moment. One big issue according to the AMA is that they want to keep the cost of racing down for the kids. In my opinion that is BS. Yes a CRF150R costs $1000 more than any of the Japanese 85's, but it costs the same as a KTM 85SX which is what half of the mini riders are on anyway.

Answer 2

i heard this year but havent seen them i bet next 2 years!

Answer 3

well my friend had a 150r i have a yz85 he rode my 85 for 1 day and realized that the 85s are much faster and tons lighter.... he is selling his 150r and bought  rm85 he likes it much better...so if i were you i would just stick with the 85s..... it will take some getting used to but will probably be better...

i hope this helps!!

Answer 4

Maybe in the next couple of years,  Why, are you planning on buying one?

Answer 5

They must first be extensively tested in Australia to see if they are worthy of real motocross tracks. We all know only the Honda will be good enough to pass the test.

Answer 6

The '08 150's are probably going to come out in about August or September.
