i new they would be coming out with a bad ass four stroke to replace the cr85 2 stroke engine in that chassis i didnt know it would be in 2007.

ibmike13 · 09-07-2006, 08:17 AM

the awesome thing is you can get the 85 expert with that new 150 engine thats even way badder then the new 150!

mdkuder · 09-07-2006, 08:33 AM

Just got off the phone with my local dealer and he didn't have a clue about the bikes.

the link I put up there if from Honda's website....

ask you honda dealer to go check it out

mdkuder · 09-07-2006, 09:13 AM

Yeah, I let them know it was floating around the web and they are going to the dealer show soon.

Faster-Minis · 09-07-2006, 09:17 AM

very sweet ride, lets see if the motor is that good.

cyclerider57 · 09-07-2006, 09:19 AM

I do like how they went to the UNI-Cam design on that too. I just hope it's more of a copy from the 450 and not the 250. They 250 engine is a total joke if you ask me. I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they designed it. It's definitely going to be a rev machine. Look at the huge bore on that thing. I also don't like the stainless valves... for that price... come on they should be Ti. I'll be interested to get one on the bench.

Faster-Minis · 09-07-2006, 09:19 AM

incredible.

its going to be good, unicam water cooled, Honda and most of all corrected geometry for the bigger engine. your bikes awseome to though you can sell it before everyone no,s about the new crf150 expert.

Brent878 · 09-07-2006, 10:19 AM

too much time invested in it. Built it for my sister who trail rides it so she wouldn't benifit from the new one too much. She doesn't use the 145SE to its potential anyways. But it could have saved me a TON of time and money if this came out 1 year ago.

they didnt replace the CR85 with this, they still sell the 2-stroke. Prolly not for much longer though.

Give it some time and all the big brands will have one, then Honda will put it in an aluminum frame and totally blow them all away, again!!!

ibmike13 · 09-07-2006, 10:47 AM

i am the hardest core 4 stroke lover. that crf150 expert is like a dream come true i cant wait to get one! i need to get my crf70 forks anoidized showa gold and then my crf 70 will have a near identical bigger brother the 150 expert!

cwbride · 09-07-2006, 10:51 AM

ibmike13..

I'm one of those guys with a cr85/xr100 conversion that is worth a lot less $$$ today than it was last week. Oh well... Our conversion is a ton of fun but if my boy was a few years younger, I would be the first in line to buy the new Honda.

Brent878..

This is a rumor that has been floating around for several years now. The only real surprise to me was that Honda got the bike to market first. I expected Yamaha to repeat their YZ400F and YZ250F success and be the first manufacturer to release a real race ready 150F mini bike.

Let the fun begin...

jdmp · 09-07-2006, 11:01 AM

to me its still not a pitbike..too big but its friggin sweet. Im sure after a while all the 85's will dissapear just like how the racing is now.
