[@diggy-d8w]

I do like the bike & I found some other info that you might or might not know? "TheManoy66" is a channel here that boasts of having other Honda bikes that have parts that are interchangeable? I find that interesting as the current suspension is a little bit, "lacking"? He's in one of the nations that have had the 150 for years do it's a well proven bike but like I said, he's on YT & there are 1-2 bikes that you can grab a better front end off of(forks) & the wheels if you wanted but having the forks & rear shock would give a considerable boost in comfort/control. If you still own/ride her this info might be of interest to you as it was to me? Knowing this might sell me on the bike but we'll soon see? peace man

Those bike are super popular in South America. They can run 60000 miles without any trouble if you take care. One cool thing about that engine is the bottom end is beefy, has big bearings and strong rod compared to another 150cc. So you will see drag racers strocking up to 220-240cc and getting like 35-40hp A really popular "every day" mod is 190cc cylinder (athena), a good 28mm carb (no china crap) , ignitec cdi, cams and exhaust that give you like 25hp reliable. You can source that components form Brazil will not be very expesive to you.

[@lexeriw]

@the_trashman I think the CRF250F fit that your needs. Modern suspensión and chasis with a simple 250cc aircooled single cam engine Honda source the engine of that model to make the Honda New Twister 250cc For Latam that bike is like the toyota Corolla in US. You will see lots of those on the road with over 50000km still going strong.

Keeping the front wheel on the ground in the 1st three gears was almost impossible when on the pipe. Mulholland Drive was my friends and my playground. During summer vacation we rode all night long because we could see headlights coming the other way and knew when we could use the entire road. All that practice paid off as when I did a 24 HR endurance race at Willow I ended up being 5 seconds a lap faster than my 4 other team mates at night. They were so happy they let me do back to back stints which made me happy, lol.

Breaking in an engine is crucial to its lifetime, normally you would drive half RPM and half throttle for the first 1000km or 600 miles, then change the oil and gruadually increase the throttle an rpm from there . Also breakes and tyres normally need to break in about 100km )60 miles) before the get peak performance

Bought one a couple months ago, in Jacksonville,N.C. Great bike. Bought it from Lejeune Motorsports, in Jacksonville, by the time they padded the bill, $ 4300.00. They have the market cornered here, they charge premium for everything. Oh well.

I get it, and I would love to ride an XR150. But now I don't feel so badly about having "overpaid" $2,000 for a KL250g Super Sherpa 6spd with 5.3k miles, or overpaid $2,000 for an XT225 6spd with 12k miles. And before think too much about an XR150, I have a $1,600 TW200 5spd with

[@AnotherBrokenBuild]

Just got one of these in Cincinnati, where all the good trails at around here

[@jvinsnes]

actually with good gas mileage and incredible reliability this thing is a great buy

[@SecretSquirrel-et6dl]

Noting about this bike is under 3k in the US. Ridiculous mark up because they can compared to the rest of the world. I bought a Lifan KPX 250 instead for under 3k and I’m loving it.

[@RotshidzwaLiphadzi-ie8fs]

I have ridden the xr 150 and it's a good bike actually 👌 now I have the xr 125

[@thrasherc9647]

na buy a DR 250 350 or 650 for 2500 and thats for a Clean one they have all the power you can want they are street legal, run forever and super easy to work on

[@campones...]

In Brazil they stop to make the nx150 (basically the same bike) in 2009

[@raymondenrile8372]

its selling around less than $2k in the Philippines

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Yea, they definitely raised the price for the USA market haha

[@warrenfallon583]

LOL as soon as you start filming in the car a Mtn Dew truck drives through the background. I found that very appropriate for a dirt bike video.

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Right on brothaaa do the dewww

[@claveelgarron4049]

I just bought a second hand one almost new with less that 2000km in Argentina and paid U$S2000 for it. Amazing bike

[@jackorear2536]

Could you tell me again the kind of carb you replaced the original with? I have a 2023 that does the same thing, and it looks like you solved the problem. Great video!

I have a 2006 BMW F650gs I bought off Craigslist for $3,000. I love it, but at 430lbs, it's hard for my 58 year old, cancer surviving body to off-road/ trail ride. Something like this would be great as a second bike. It would be easy to carry on my mini vans hitch carrier also. No trailer needed. Edit - I never wheelie.

[@1worldgaming18]

so u changed the carb but not to a bigger one ? okay i would have gotten a bigger one or set the dremel on the one u got , but that's me standart 22mm carb is for emissions i think :)

[@fredgonzaga8068]

you just bought a bros 150 from Brasil Honda kkkkkkkkkkkkk and belive it or not, it is realy expesive down here Note: You can try as hard as you can but this motor wil never broke. thats the reason why was it was sold so much in Brasil. It comes too in the CG Family. The most seller bike model in brasil for more that 2 decades.

[@roygumpel8415]

great little video. Simple, to the point. not forever pov video putting us to sleep. i can't believe you have to buy a new carb for a 2023 Honda! That's supremely messed up.
