Can't believe this crap!!!

Ktm should start their own 150cc series!!!

Heck yeah! Can you imagine how fast this would catch on?

Man, It would be awesome if they made a 150 series, and for that matter - a 250 series! How cool would that be.

Oh man I was thinking the same thing, that would be awesome!!!
When the 144/150 cc 2 strokes appeared I just wanted to race them, but under FIM regulations (that I'm tied to) the 150 2 strokes just don't have a category in wich you can race them, so damn baaaaad!!!!

[scotty dog]

What a crock! Its probly so the 150 riders dont get flogged by bikes almost half their capacity . Not many kids ride em here and the ones that do get wasted.
I laughed my head off at a race i went to last year, a kid on a 150 got the holeshot and proceeded to be eaten up by nothin but two strokes, even old CR 85's.

We should submit the idea to KTM and DC lol I am interested to know their answers..  They will have a full gate every week-end for sure!!! It would be so bad-ass!!!! Honda and their crappy 150f..this bike a such a failure.Ugly POS. God.. The sport right now is all about what the manufacturers want not the riders.. This is so embarrassing..

A 150cc series is a good idea.
KTM,TM Yamaha make them already.
Then invite Honda as well

Oh and i forgot.
Husky has a factory 144 kit for their CR125.
They are giving them away free with the new bike here.

LOL, A one bike competition, to say this is dumb is an understatement.

Every manufacturer should just hold seperate nationals for their own brands and for each cc.  The Honda 250CRF Nationals!  The Yamaha YZ250F Nationals!  The Kawasaki KX450F Nationals!

This way everyone is handicapped into riding a single bike in every competition.  If you bore your bike out you are disqualified, if you change a foot peg you are disqualified, everything must be completely STOCK from the factory.  Infact, if you have a piece of dirt that did not come from the factory at the start of the race you are disqualified.  Bikes come vaccuum sealed in industrial strength plastic bags and are only opened at the starting line.

Yes, the CR150F is no where near a CR125, but that's like I always say, for some reason off-cc bikes are usually terds.  80, 125, 250, 500's.  Odd crap like a 110 or 175 or 450 or 150 are usually junk for some reason and never have any power pull in 2nd gear.  They just lay down and die like horse with a broken leg.

So we should write to KTM and MXSports? Who else should we contact? I am a firm believer that companies will listen after a barrage (sp?) of letters.

For a time in the 1990's I got seriously into slot car racing. It was miniature NASCAR  stuff and it was a blast. Had a complete race set up for the cost of a couple of Metzelers!

Because it was so easy to bend the rules with the engine... they started to have engines in sealed bags that were numbered that you would pick randomly out of a hat! You mounted that engine in your car and had to return it at the end of the competition.

Still there were things you could do to the chassis to make your car go a bit better, but the racing was so close! It was a blast!!

Not sure it would work with MX but it would be fun to try. Besides in my little world we would still be racing small bore mx bikes...

Just as a point of reference Roger DeCoster when he was a late teen raced a full-sized 50cc bike in Belgium...

I don't know, I've seen some 175s that can tear the fabric of space-time itself.  Of course, all of these are ancient, so I suppose your rule mainly holds true for more modern stuff.  Back in the olden days, every bike in the open class had a different displacement, with 360s and 400s and even some wild men on big-bad 440 all just had serious balls.  But of course, that was before Honda came into the open-class picture.  After they did that, it was only a few years before it all went to 500 across the board.

(Of course I'm being unfair, if anyone deserves blame for making everyone go to the displacement cap, it's Maico with their 490.)

I believe Jetz lives on a Islands somewhere! LOL

The sad thing is, even with as much of a turd the CRF150 is, it's still BIGGER than a 125 (obviously).  Think about the performance gap between the two, think of James Stewart on a 125, then think of the fastest (lol) you've ever seen anyone take a CRF150.

Oh sorry, I forgot.  To think the 150F is any good, you have to believe.

No the really sad thing is a grown man crying about a bike hes never even rode before,cause if you had you wouldnt be saying that its a "turd".First off you compairing it to a 125 is stupid,2nd you guys kill me with this down with Honda crap you spew constantly i think you should get your facts straight before you run your mouth.

The series was made so Honda can push their 4 junk to the public. The bike doesn't offer anything better than the actual 85cc sold at the dealerships right now.. The bike is a stupid concept with no success. This is not the future.. This is another way to make more money for Honda.




Such an ugly mini.

When Honda relesed the 150 I thought everyone else would follow suit. Now they have a model no one has copied yet and they feel the need to support it. I am waiting around to get one with a blown motor so I can transplant a 125 2t into it. I think the chassi is cool it would really be a hit if they could fit it with a 100cc 2t.Kawasaki used to make a KX 100 that was as cute as a bugs ear. It was a great transition bike for the kid who was to big for an 80 and to small for a 125. I think there is a place for this bike it just needs a 2t under the tank. ARE YOU LISTENING A.J.@ Service Honda?
