heard already from people they arent that great , sit on them and the suspension bottoms out :/
 
I read too that Koby went into Chapparel and sat on one and bottomed it out. According to him, by the looks of it, the bike is a crf70 with different plastic. He said that it looked like it would take a lot of money to even make it into a competitive stock mod. He suggested that you should just buy a new KLX110L for the money. Im not hating on the crf110, I race hondas and love them, but this new bike seems like it will dissapoint those looking to make a pitbike out of it.

Great points. I remember seeing a video that said it was essentially going to be a crf70 with different plastics, and I'm not a big fan of the plastic design...seems like an easy way for them to get people to have to pay more to get replacement pieces when one cracks, etc.

What Koby said about buying a 110L to save money instead of the new crfs is what I've been thinking all along to..

unless your a kid then yes it should bottom out Honda made these for kids not adults. why would any adult ride one with stock suspension so its not a good reason to think the 110 is not so great. ive yet to even see one in person yet but BBR seems to like them over the other 110s on the market.
might be worth noting that this is the replacement for the crf70 but is infact an all new design frame and motor not just a 70 with different plastics.
 
this is one of the reasons i didnt buy a crf110 right away because i knew i would have 3gs or more wrapped up into it just turning it into a stock mod , ill wait for them to pop up used and go from there :)

We understand that these bikes are made for kids, but when sitting on my 04' klx110 when I bought it stock, it never bottomed out when sitting on it and I'm 200lbs. You gotta understand though that even though BBR says they like them, look how much they had to do to them out of the box to get to that stage. I can like something too after its been spiffed up and modded. Whereas you can buy a KLX110L with better suspension and clutch option stock and more parts on the market. I think the crf110 is neat, but for the majority of people I think Kawis are going to be the way to go for a midsized pitbike. The CRF's might get there, but as of now with pitbike parts manufacturers not making any "new" parts, I dont see a bright future for the crf. If Kawi comes out with a roller rocker head stock on their bikes in 2014, there wont be any competition. Look at the TTR110 and how successful thats been. Most people just put blue plastic on the KLX and say its a yzf or ttr lol. Im just a little uneasy on the CRF110, in a sense Honda is copying Yamaha where yamaha replaced the TTR90 with a TTR110. Honda is replacing the CRF70 with the CRF110.

You heard 1 person (Koby) say that one time. Who btw is a known Honda hater.

lol dont think koby would lie to me ....
I didn't realize you and Koby were blood brothers under an oath to never exaggerate to each other. lol.

Have a lil respect please! That is no mere 70 with new plastics. That is a ground up brand new machine. Roller rocker head... Well entire motor for that matter Brand new frame. New shock, new forks 95% of the bike is brand new. So please don't down play it with you lack of understanding. Besides, don't get me started about the KLX L. That bike has the worst stink bug stance of any 110 I've ever ridden. Sitting on it reminds me of sitting on a 1984 KX125. Front and the rear of the seat is "up hill". The TTR does this but much less. The new Honda has an nice flat seat on it. Honda is the power House. They rarely release stuff that isnt a hit right outta the box.

Out of the 5 guys I Moto with are all getting the CRF110. 2 of them have taken delivery and rode the bike. Both dude in seperate text said they were surprised how stiff the rear shock was and how the new motor had the best shifting ever. So not sure how Koby got that from one plop down on the seat sitting still in the dealer.

Now, I don't know about you... But I didn't get into put bikes to "save money". So that's not gonna work on me. Plus I gotta do it twice. I got 2 crf110's. one for me and one for my son. And he likes his bling, just like his old man! So I know going into this imma drop some money, sure. But I'm going to savor every second of that time installing those parts with my son, and of corse riding too!

^ Yup!
Do t even try and say your stock Kawi was adult race able sitting on show room floor! lol.

Don't get into put bike to save money brotha! Hahaha. I hear ya tho. Just like everything, it's expensive in the beginning, and price comes down from there.

^ I don't know what your seeing/reading. Everything I e read and watched on YouTube has the CRF110 as the bike to beat. Post something that shows the Honda loosing.
 
haha jordo you crack me up , your in love with these bikes ! when are u getting your 2 bikes ?
Guilty as charged! Hahaha. Well any second now! Delivery date is today! I've talked to dealer already today... They defenetly know to call me the second the truck rolls into the parking lot... lol.
 
haha good deal , were all waiting to see some pics ! you already have 2 sets of zokes ? wat rear ends u running ?
 
hahaha jordo your funny dude, im not saying it as a honda hater. i think they would look super sick done up and i wouldnt mind have one that is done up to my liking just like i did to the 110l i bought. BUT you are going to be in the $6000+ range when all said and done. and you will have a stock frame with crf110 plastics on it. probably daytona 190 anima if you want to be competitive... so think this way, hondas frames are raked out and break. so now reinforce the stock frame change the rake. buy suspension buy wheels buy brakes. now what about motor? all im getting at is that you are going to be into the bike a whole lot of money for just the new crf110 plastics look.

but to each his own! that is just my opinion. i thought they would atleast come out with a clutch!
