2006 Honda Crf150 on 2040-motos

Honda CRF description

2006 Honda CRF150, The mid-size Honda CRF150F features the same easy-to-manage power and legendary Honda performance as it always has. But for the 2006, it s getting even better - with a new engine and the addition of an electric starter. Family riding has never been this fun and this easy. Hailed as the ideal ride for off-road adventure, the CRF150F redefines fun in 2006 thanks to an all-new engine with push-button electric starting, new transmission ratios and new suspension settings that provide even better handling. When Honda redesigned its XR100R, it made a big stink of how heavy the TT-R125 was. But now that it has shown its hand, Honda has basically said, 'We ll call your 20 pounds and raise you 20 pounds.' At a claimed 218 pounds, the CRF150 weighs 16 pounds more than the full-sized Honda CR125R motocrosser and nearly the same as the CR250R. When the 150 was parked next to the Suzuki DR-Z125L, it dwarfed it. In spite of those facts, we asked five-foot-two-inch Nick Nowak, Chad Hartley and five-foot-three Stacy Bremner to be our test riders. Nick and Chad normally ride Honda CR80Rs, and Stacy races a Yamaha YZ125 in the women s novice class. Naturally, we couldn t keep the dads at bay, so we had pilots as heavy as 220 pounds on the bike as well. Features All-new 149cc engine for increased performance. Electric starter for convenient starting in all conditions. New transmission ratios more closely match engine power characteristics.
