HONDA CRF150F (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2005, the Japanese manufacturer Honda released the Honda CRF150F, an off-road motorcycle for the third consecutive production year that was in the same shape and form as previous models without any modifications whatsoever.

The Honda CRF150F was an off-road motorcycle launched in 2003 to replace the Honda XR series. It was designed for family recreation or easy off-road trails, especially aimed at beginner, intermediate, or teen riders.

The bike was styled after Honda's racing bikes and featured a tuned suspension system, a five-speed manual transmission, an O-ring sealed final chain drive, Pirelli MT18 tires, and a hydraulic brake on the front with a 240 mm brake disc.

The 2005 Honda CRF150F was powered by a 149cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine fed by a 24 mm piston-valve carburetor.

It was built around a steel frame with a 35 mm leading-axle Showa fork on the front, offering 232 mm of travel, and a Pro-Link swingarm tied to a single Showa shock, providing 223 mm wheel travel.

A single 240 mm brake rotor mounted on the front wheel and a single drum unit mounted on the rear wheel achieved the braking performance.

Visually, the motorcycle packed standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a single seat, a single exhaust system with a high-mounted silencer, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.
