crf150 vs revmx155, any SxS comparisons?

[revmx_89]

i was thinking will a revmx 155z compete with a crf 150

 

[oldhack]

Do you mean the CR85 replacement CRF150? Is there another out there?
If you mean the new 150 that competes in the 85cc class, The RevMX would not have a hope in hell. That is a full on motocross bike at about 4X the price of the RevMX. You have to compare apples with apples mate.

 

[revmx_89]

no not the crf 150 rb it the older crf 150 that come in just after the xr

 

[Hillz]

there is 2 a CRF150F & CRF150R

the Rev will proberly be faster than a 150F, but the honda would last for 20 years longer & im my opinion a heap more fun if you dont want to break any distance records

PS im sick of these VS threads, will have to make a forum / thread just for this comparison crap

 

[revmx_89]

there was 2 crf 150 up till 2008 thats when the brought out the crf 150 rb expert so now there is 3 diffrent crf 150 and i was asking about the crf 150 f

 

[Hillz]

The R & the R expert are basically the same bike the engines are the same

 

[revmx_89]

they are set up different and rb expert is the big wheel crf 150 r with a little more power

BullSh%$T dont believe what the douche at honda told you, other than the wheels & set up the engines are the same. the expert is proberly slower because or the extra weight

i sell engine part s for a living & know make, model & what it use's for every Jap & euro Dirt bike ever made :grinning-smiley-003

 

[revmx_89]

i have ridden both bike and from what i can feel when you twist the throttle the crf 150 rb has a little more power dew to the sprocket change and i would agree with you the the crf 150 r is faster but the crf150 rb will hit top speed faster

what would you know hillz

Make a 'vs' sub forum, am also over all the ''will my XX beat my mates YY''

Dam, only The admin can make sub forums by the looks of it

yep. lots of confusion between the crf150 models..

crf150F = fun/farm/rubbish model.
crf150R = race/expert model
crf150RB = same as the race/expert model but with bigger wheels/forks/swinga..

dudes at the honda shops will tell you wat you wana hear.. there there to make a buck not educate people, and bottom line is is that most of the sales people wouldnt have a friggin clue

and i recon the R would toast a revmx/lxr or anything similar. straight line and track

the 150 R is equipped with a 1/4 turn and the 150 F is not, the reason being is some guys here like to say R = race F = fun....... the 150F is more well suited to trails and everyday cruises and such.... can be ridden at the track, but if your gonna do that may aswell buy the race ready 150 R and use that... difference between the normal 150 and the expert is 19" front rim and 17" rear rim....opposed to the normal 150 with the 17" front 14" rear setup... I love these Hondas spent some time with them and really had fun stacking my cousins into a pond becasue the power was all right there on the "R"

also agree with the durability factor... they are very very durable and after i put it in the pond it was running 20 minutes later.... and just as good as before.... some minor things where done to ensure it would all be ok down the road aswell but it was all minor... the suspension feel of the CRF was very squishy and responsive with noticeable differences with different ammounts of pre-load... something my pit bike could not really do....

if you have a shot to get a CRF 150 for a decent price, dont pass up the opportunity... parts are everywhere.....

 

[140_addict]

the R also has a reported 22.5 bhp on the engine it runs with.... if you attach a quickshot to the 150's carby.... your in for the ride of your life... im not kidding...

 

[sean01]

the F and R/RB models are completely different engines.

 

[krazed0451]

I just love that people think sprockets change an engines power output... Head to a dictionary and look up the difference between 'output' and 'delivery'

 

[sean01]

sprockets can have a big effect on how the engine performs..

 

[krazed0451]

sprockets can have a big effect on how the engine performs..

Very true... But you can change the sprockets on any bike and they will not effect the overall power of the motor, just it's delivery

Anyone sold a bike on the basis of different sprocket setups should be beaten with a stick :boink:

 

[sean01]

umm not really true... but theres no real answer here i dont think

if you put too small of sprocket on yr wheel it wont have as much punch which is changing the engines power output
and if you put too big of sprocket on it will steal a lot/ most of its torque but rev its tits off

so basically it changes the engines whole power curve
