2013
The 2013 Honda CRF150RII is a small-wheel motocross bike designed for aspiring racers. Part of Honda's renowned CRF line, known for its reliability and performance, the CRF150RII offers a stepping stone for younger riders transitioning from smaller machines to full-sized motocross bikes. It directly competes with models like the Kawasaki KX100 and the Yamaha YZ85, all vying for dominance in the youth MX scene.
At the heart of the CRF150RII lies a potent 149.7 ccm single-cylinder engine. This powerplant generates a peak power output of 23.5 HP (17.1 kW) at a screaming 12500 RPM. Torque is also readily available, peaking at 14.1 Nm (1.4 kgf-m or 10.4 ft.lbs) at 11000 RPM. This high-revving nature requires a skilled rider to keep the engine in its sweet spot for optimal acceleration out of corners and over jumps. The fuel tank capacity is 4.30 litres (1.14 US gallons), which is sufficient for typical motocross race durations but requires careful fuel management during longer practice sessions.
The CRF150RII, with its motocross focus, prioritizes handling and agility over outright comfort. The seat height is a substantial 866 mm (34.1 inches), reflecting its design for taller, experienced youth riders. Suspension is firm and responsive, designed to soak up bumps and jumps on the track. Track-focused ergonomics, including a narrow frame and aggressive riding position, allow for maximum control and maneuverability. While not suited for casual trail riding, its lightweight chassis and responsive engine make it a formidable weapon on the motocross circuit.
The 2013 Honda CRF150RII is explicitly aimed at serious young motocross racers. It's an ideal machine for riders who have outgrown smaller bikes and are looking to hone their skills and compete at a higher level. While it demands respect and a certain level of expertise to extract its full potential, the CRF150RII provides a competitive platform for aspiring champions. Its proven reliability and race-ready design make it a solid choice for those dedicated to pursuing motocross success.
