Cool little bike. Brought home a 2024 model yesterday for 10yo grandson. His first rip today on it & he did really well. He's still racing 65 class, but maybe start 85C after FCA MotoCamp this summer. Anyway, he was all smiles, all day!

Really wish some other brands would put out a 150 4 stroke bike

200-250CC 28 To 30hp would be perfect.

[@tinytim307]

Best mod for this bike is the Tokyo-mods carburetor accelerator return spring and a richer leak-jet. Takes away that bog and hard to start issue. With that spring you'll instantly hear & feel the engine become way more snappy & quicker revving. Almost sounds like a 250f race bike with that spring installed. Hope someone gets to try it out. You'll love it.

[@TheRedMenaceR]

Great video, awesome build! They're really popular as a mini-sumo. Ive got one and also an 85 (Coincidentally the 150 is currently blown up). They're a blast to run on kart tracks though and since i've gotten my 85, I can totally see what you're saying about having to carry so much more speed and I find myself doing that on the kart tracks. Basically being forced to stay in that powerband is also forcing me to carry more speed and therefore get faster.

Does it over-heat on slower, technical stuff, single track, on hotter days?

[@guskelman3058]

My little brother has an '08 crf150rb and he keeps up with me on my kx250f no problem. These little bikes are insane. I would really like to see honda update this bike and give it an aluminum frame and fuel injection. However, I disagree on you with the e start. That's just unnecessary weight on a smaller bike like this. If you have problems starting it, grow some leg muscle.

[@bikersoncall]

They should have added e start 5 years ago, it has nothing to do with whether you can kick it over or not. Alum frame, e start, carb, bare alum rims, not blacked out, and 'sold' !

tyler zesiger never heard of a 150r doin that but ya know happens once and all 150r’s are hand grenades as you put it. Never had to change a bolt on the bike and I rode it hard got too big for it and was still able to throw it around track or trail

Curious if these 150s can run in the 85 class ?? And if so are you allowed to increase displacement for the super mini class ?? And if so what are they increasing them to?? I mean a 112 2 stroke vs a 150 four stroke isn’t really even … right ?

[@jackcompton8752]

We race 110's in 65cc and 150's in 85cc classes. In the nationals there are guys, like Carson Brown, Matty B & StankDog, that run a 125 2t in the 250 main. It's a crazy world!

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

Be a awesome bike for a small wife if it had E start , my wife is 5 ft tall and fits a xr100 perfect, we thought about getting her a crf150rb to ride enduro off rd stuff, my buddies kid raced a crf150rb so in chat I found out these bikes can be a prick to start and often run hot out on the trail, my daughter has a kx100, I ordered a flywheel weight make it run better for trail riding. If wifey likes it, I'll get her a kx100 too.

[@crfblake5325]

My 150rb is VERY hard to start in the 35 degree and below weather takes about 15 minutes of pure kicking

[@bikersoncall]

They are 5 years late on e start, goofy that they don't get that, and that they don't over this or 200cc with alum frame.

[@evanjohnson5480]

My son rides one on the trails. The added torque makes it a fantastic woods bike. Some of the fastest kids in NETRA ride them in hare scrambles.

[@ftsboys9825]

I have one and they are amazing for a woods/trail bike with a bash plate and bark busters etc. only thing is they get very hot and when they are hot they are hard to start, very hard. I find when coming to a hard enduro section and i stall it I have to take it back and roll start it... but otherwise they are great 👍

[@briang4470]

This bike is awesome looking but it makes me sad to see the 2 strokes disappearing, it takes the affordability out of the dirtbike hobby, some of these 4 stroke bikes when they have an engine failure, it's cheaper to buy another running bike than it is to fix, I had a buddy give me a crf250 that dropped a valve for free and when I priced the parts it was going to cost over $2000 dollars and the bike needed even more work than that so I gave the bike to another buddy for free for him to swap another engine on to, I see alot of 4 strokes for sale with no motor or trashed motors for cheap because they usually aren't worth fixing and some of the parts are brutally expensive. I'm a 2 stroke man myself but I like bullet proof 4 strokes like honda xr's and yamaha ttr's, but these high performance race 4 strokes are just so fragile and are high maintanance. I will always be a diehard 2 stroke guy but those bikes are getting old and it's hard to find ones that aren't clapped out or rigged beyond repair.
