HONDA CRF150F (2008-2009) 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 for beginner, intermediate, or teen riders.

In 2008, the Japanese manufacturer released the Honda CRF150F, an off-road motorcycle designed for young and beginner riders. It was in the sixth consecutive production year and packed the same characteristics as previous models without any changes.

The latest revision was made in 2006, featuring a redesigned engine with a different compression ratio, bore, and stroke. In addition, the bike had an electric start system, and the battery was placed under the left side panel, kept away from water or mud.

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.

In the visual department, the bike had 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.

As for power, the 2008 Honda CRF150F took its muscles from a 149cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine managed by a 24 mm piston-valve carburetor.
