We got our 2007 150r recently and while my son is agressive I cant believe the areas of paint chipping off the welds on the frame. He's small for a 12 year old and he's barely got 3 hours on the bike but the paint on the engine mounts, foot pegs and linkage mounts are starting to give up the paint. I guess we're spoiled by the age of aluminum frames. My 2001 KTM 400mxc seems to be holding up far better and its got over 100 hours. I suppose it's powder coated, the CRF must be paint by the looks & wear.
Anyone else experience any issues other than paint? (cracks, weak spots in the tubing or welds)
