Honestly, this is one of those bikes you need to ride first before you judge. Had it for a month now and it WILL surprise you once you give it. My brothers KX100 and this go toe to toe no matter how often we swap.
I raced 65s and 85s in 2000s and remember when the 150 came out. Pretty badass bike. Shit I remember when the KTM 85 came out not too long before the crf150s
Disappointed by the negative comments. This review was on point especially being a female rider, everything she said or mentioned were criterial in what I needed to know. Thank you!
Yea but the chose a wrong ridder it made for a 85cc series(for kids) and she like adult and compared it to a trail bike that has less hp and more weight so.... it was a bad review
Old comment but LOL a 85 would annihilate this bike easily, you'd need a 200-250cc 4-stroke to be really higher up in class compared to a 85, more like 2-t 50cc->2-t 65cc->crf150->2-t 85cc->250 4-joke or 125 2-stroke then 250 2-stroke or 450 joke :)
@@connorbrown2643 They actually don't, You cant race a 150rb against 85s in competition, they call them too fast due to the gearing of the big wheels. drag racing 85s the 150 definitely comes out on top
no electric start like the new crf250? she's right though, I started/learned to ride on the 150RB and it was great to learn on. But I moved up to the 250 6 months ago
Brayden OOF don’t waist money on this bike, you’ll probably grow out of it considering your 14, unless you find one cheap just ride your current bike until you can get a full size
TSM_Mc 97 rough trails or light trails? I live in a rough area and im trying to replace a fourwheeler with this cause i want a bike and i think this would be a good choice but idk about the trails
@@geo745don efi would add 10 lbs to the bike with the battery and ect. the 150r is already 15 lbs heavier than a ktm 85. efi makes no sense and carbs have better throttle response
Look everybody, its the same damn bike since 2007, with literally 0 updates since then, with acceleration that'll max out 5th gear before halfway down a straight, with a god awful single piston front caliper, go along with a chassis that's extremely cramped for anybody over 5'4
I hope they never black out the rims, looks great the way it is, I've never seen a bike that looks good with black rims. Yamaha's blues look great, so does just plain aluminum/steel.
I think it’s safe to say that, if this bike is not properly set to your weight & not serviced/maintained properly, but mostly if the suspension is not set to your weight, you will have an awful time on this bike. I don’t know why, but If your suspension isn’t properly set up to your weight, you will hate this bike so much. You’ll be super uncomfortable, unconfident, and feel like you’re constantly fighting the bike.
SpiderMonkey you'd feel like that on any bike. From experience the 150 is the best bike in that class. And stay away from KTM and Husqvarna. Those things blow up regularly. I like the kawi 85 tho
My dad wants me to get one But I don’t like the colour red and I don’t like 4 strokes that much and the seat ramps up like the rocket My mum doesn’t like it eather And il raver wait 2 more year to get a ktm150 or 125
