2009 Honda CRF150R Review

2009 Honda CRF150R  Review
MSRP $4,299
The CRF150R may be Honda's smallest MX machine, but it has everything it needs to be a big winner. It starts with a Unicam engine and an adjustable Showa suspension, and throw in a Pro-Link rear suspension just like the big boys. It's big on the features you expect from.In all honesty, the Honda CRF150R is a pretty radical little machine, and we doubt that the lack of buzz has anything to do with the bike itself. A number of external factors-such as the slackening economy and a recent lack of manufacturer interest in the amateur racing scene-may be the prime reason this bike is largely being ignored. Or perhaps the pre-CRF150R hype was so great, the normal amount of attention the little Honda receives now seems insignificant in comparison. Whatever the case, this bike remains a sweet, solid piece of equipment that any youth racer would give his Tater Tots to own.
