crf150 kicks ass! it is a real power house and is probably the most fun play bike i have ever ridden. but in that price range there is no chance there just to new better to just fork out the cash for a new one if you really want that bike cuz it will only be like a couple hundred cheaper and might as well get something you know won't have problems from the beginning. but the kx100 is awesome to and is cheap.

Well i know the 150r is 4299 and the kx is 3000 new here and i know i havent seen used 150r's for sale but i wont be getting a bike till july so idk

LEllis7motox · Jan 28, 2008

But really im not worried about the price i just want to know which would be better for me

Coming from a four stroke, you may be more comfortable on one, but the 100's have a nice spread of power for a two-stroke. If you have a track near you, try to get a ride or two from someone who has either bike.

get the kx100. if you arent doing your own work on the 150R it will get VERY expensive. they need a lot of maintenance.

LEllis7motox · Jan 29, 2008

Alright thanks but comming to think of it my bro does some work hes pretty good with that stuff hes very good with cars but if it will cost alot ill stick with the kx100

flyingfuzzball · Jan 29, 2008

well its not that expensive if you can do the work your self. but if you have to take it to a shop constantly its not worth it.

when i say maintenance though i dont mean like changing the oil. i mean like checking the valve clearance and rebuilding the top end. if you can do that though it is one amazing bike.

LEllis7motox · Jan 29, 2008

Which bike is better on the suspension part and the acceleration part? I know the kx100 is two stroke but ive heard alot about the 150r.

LEllis7motox · Feb 3, 2008

Well i think i am going with the kx100 due to the price, Thanks.

good call.

on acceleration the 150R will win cuz it has more bottom end torque. they both have MX suspension though.
