150f vs 85cc

so these 150's have been around for about 6 months or so now, does anybody have an opinion on them?
i see a few at the track but mainly they are ridden by slower less skillfull kids looking for that bit of an advantage
Will the 2 stroke reign supreme in the 85 class or will everybody be on 4 bangers before they know it? :roll:
I really hope honda have stuffed themselves

I think they will eventually take over, i know some batch numbers in the states have been re-called, but not many for the first year.
its a shame if you like 2 strokes but people wont buy them if they arn't doing the buisness.

Yeah and the fact that honda will make a shit load of money on repairs.
Bugs me why they couldnt just make the 2s and the 4s. i liked the cr85.

I've been going through this myself lately as my oldest has just started on an 85. From what i've seen the fast kids on 150s would be fast on an 85 anyway, and the slow ones would be slow on either. The biggest dissavantage with a 150 is the weight for the younger or smaller rider, if they drop them they can't pick them up. My boy has another 2 years in the small wheel class so he'll be on an 85 till then. When he goes to big wheel we'll get a 150 then if theres an advantage to them. Would anybody want to buy a 2nd hand 150 thats had 2 race seasons done on it, I wouldn't think so. :wink:

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WOLDNT WANT TO BUY A 2N HAND ONE AFTER 2 YEARS DOES THAT MEAN THEY BREAK? I WAS GOING TO BUY ONE BECAUSE I AM PRETTY SMALL AND STARTING WOODS RIDING. WHAT SHOULD I GET INSTEAD?

I think he is trying to say get your kid one when you think they are ready for one, not just because honda have made one. it doesnt mean they are any good. so god damn heavy as well yes your right d&d about buying a second hand 4s thats why i stick with the 2s.

SMOKINNNNN :roll: :roll: :roll:

i am a parent that means i can drink beer when racing is on happy 2 i dont think they have taken off all that well, at first everybody had one now not so many, Bradley Bell had one and got rid of it, he now rides an RM and his dad says its the best bike he has ridden, and he has ridden all of them, he doesnt ride stanmore anymore because there is nobody fast enough to race him (those were his dads words)

Saying that kross rowe went well on sunday on a 150f
