i got the green light to get a new bike this fall. but cant decide. ive only ridden a modded 150f before. wondering how it would compare to a 250f in size weight and power and overall.

its up to you... im 6'2" and i fit just fine on my 150r and its the small wheel version. working at a husqy dealership i wouldnt recommend the 510... just too hard to get parts for.. i like my 150r because i can take it to the track when my friends ride their big bikes, and take it to mini races and etc. its the best of both worlds. just my 2 cents.

This is sort of my mentality as well. I'll be able to ride it on big bike tracks and still be able to take it to indoor motard events (150cc limit). I doubt i'll ever be seriously racing this thing so i'm not sure if i need a 250. i know the 150R is a race bike but i would only get it because of the performance difference over the F model. In the future I plan on getting a street legal motard like the Husky 610..



I'm just not sure if i should just go ahead and buy the SM610 or a dirtbike... hrmmmmm



**BTW.. i edited my earlier post. I meant to say that i'm 5'7 and 175lbs not 17 years old. sorry.

It really depends on what kind of riding you plan to do.



A 150R expert with some modifications is absolutely the most fun bike that I have ever owned. It is very capable, powerful, and light.



For me it's the 150R!
