HONDA CRF150F (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CRF150F was an off-road motorcycle introduced 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.

In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CRF150F, an off-road motorcycle, in the fourth consecutive production year. The 2006 model year came with a redesigned engine featuring a different compression ratio and bore and stroke.

Other changes included the new electric start system, while the battery was placed under the left side panel, kept away from water or mud. In addition, the bike weighed about the same as the previous model.

Aesthetically, the bike packed standard fittings, 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.

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.

As for power, the 2006 Honda CRF150F's heartbeat was set by a 149cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine fed by a 24 mm piston-valve carburetor.
