A best buy for a beginner bike
Carb problems that the dealer found out was caused from a factory defect.
Great starter bike for a kid who has outgrown an 80. The bike is dependable, almost maintenance free and very well built.
Downfall of the bike - Honda needs to build a big wheel version.

The little bike that could..
Nothing major yet.
It is a good starter bike, good acceleration, economical, comfortable, and you can find anything you want after-market from 250cc stroker engine kits to aluminum frames.
I ride it hard and this thing is RELIABLE!!
I have rode along with bigger bikes (xr400s, 2-strokes 125cc, 100cc, ATVs). It keeps up no problem, I get comments all the time.
Size is good for teens and adults as well.
I can fit it in my Jeep, which is sweet!.
I installed the Baja Designs enduro kit to ride at night and it is great.

A great starter bike
Nothing has gone wrong with this motorcycle.
This is an excellent starter bike for anyone learning off-road riding. It's bulletproof, easy to ride, and reliable.
You can ride it all day, and not even get close to reserve fuel.

When you buy a Honda you buy dependability!
I haven't had anything go wrong with this motorcycle.
This motorcycle handles very well and is responsive.
The seat is very comfortable.
It's very dependable, but when you buy anything Honda, it's dependable.
Its not a motocross bike so you can't really jump.
It's great for trails and would smoke anything 2 stroke through trails.
I've had 2 Hondas and no major problems.
Only bearings because I ride everyday.

You can so jump it. I jump 28 feet at my mates with my 2003 CRF150 without bottoming out the stock suspension. I weigh 60kg. He does the same jump on his Yamaha WR250F 2005 model.
A 2 stroke would waste a 4 stroke. They are way better, but the problem is you need to mix oil and gas, and if you do it wrong, it will wreck the bike. That is why I like 4 strokes. I have a CRF150F, and it is just as good on a track as my friend's Suzuki 125Z.

How hard is the seat though?? Because my dad bought a 2003 CRF230F and the seat is so hard!
Anyway, the bike sounds great and I know that the CRF150 is going to be my next bike!!
