Hi everyone. im looking for a small-mid size off road bike.
so far im looking at the Yamaha TT-R 125 (L or E) and the Honda CRF150F...
What do you guys think about each bike?
Which one is better? Needs to be a 4-stroke too.
Open to other bike oppions...
BTW im 16, 5' 7" and about 130 Lbs.

Thanks

At your size you might want to look at the CRF230F and TTR230. If you won't go to the larger bike, then definitely get the 150, as it's a little bigger than the TTR.

Im leaning toward more to the CRF150F i think. heres a newbie question for ya... i have a manual quad (honda) but it has a auto clutch and Electric Shifting (not the foot kind).... how do you operate the clutch and shifter? I know how and when to shift a manual tranny, but just the push button, auto clutch, kind.

Click to expand...

Pull in clutch lever, put bike in gear, slowly release clutch lever while increasing throttle, go.

for shifting, let off the throttle, pull in the clutch, shift, release clutch, increase throttle.

Easier done than said, for sure.

Its easier having Neutral inbetween gear 1 and 2 because noone uses gear 1 unless your stick in a ditch or something like that. When you start of, just kick it into second gear and your away. 1st gear is to powerfull and not fast enough to use to start of with.
