Segment: Enduro/Offroad
Production years: 2007, 2008
In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CRF150R, a motocross machine in its second year of production, designed for off-road racing. Also, the bike was a competitor in the Mini Class against many 85cc two-stroke models.
The bike was available in two versions, such as the standard version called CRF150R and the second version called CRF150RB Expert, which was designed to suit the needs of taller riders.
The Honda CRF150R featured a powerful Unicam 149cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered impressive power at a wide rpm range, and it only weighed 20 kg (44 lbs).
The model was one of the best mini racing machines Honda has ever made and packed a
fully-adjustable Showa suspension both front and rear, high-quality Dunlop tires, and disc brakes both front and rear.
As for detailed specifications, the bike packed a 37 mm fully-adjustable inverted cartridge-type fork on the front and a Pro-Link fully-adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.
In the braking department, the CRF150R packed a single 220 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and one 190 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.
The Expert version came with some modifications compared to the standard model, such as a single 220 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and one 190 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.
