wroof said:hey just curious, what is the ride difference with the 150r and 150f?
nikki said:The CRF150R is a race bike, primarily for motocross. High revving, lots of power, better suspension, better brakes, more maintenance, lighter than a 150F (165 lbs.), etc. Costs more than the 150F (MSRP around $4200).
The CRF150F is a offroad trail bike. Less HP, smoother/softer power for riding trails, softer offroad suspension, electric start available, less maintenance, heavier than the 150R (223 lbs.), etc. (MSRP around $3100).

I am back in the market for a suitable bike for my daughter. She got tired of the quad so last year I bought her a TTR-125LE. Now she's pushing that bike past its limits so I need something a bit better.
The problem is that she is short (5' 2") and heavy (which I am not going to post on the Internet!). She is very athletic though.

nikki said:As far as a bike for your daughter, is she riding MX or trails, or a mix? At 5'2", she would probably be most comfortable on an 85/105 if you're looking to switch to a two-stroke, or maybe a 150R/RB if you're looking to stay with a four-stroke, but get more power. The 85/150R has 14"/17" wheels, the 105/150RB has 16"/19" wheels. She should fit okay on either at 5'2", if still growing, I would recommend the big wheel version for sure.
