id say an 85...in my opinion staying on a 2 stroke makes you a better rider when you do make the switch to a full size for stroke.... 2 trokes are alot more work

 

Wut kinda riding do you do???

 

If your less experienced, I'd go with the 85, if you got some skills, go with the 150R...I have a 150R and its alot of bike even compared to my 125...Although, I sorta like the 2 stroke cuz all ya gotta do is fill it up with premix and tranny oil then ride, while the 150R needs oil changes, valve shimming every few hours etc... Bottom line is the 150R is a FAST MO****ER but the 85 would be super fun too without the hassle of maintainence. Also, keep in mind that you can put a BBK and a few other mods in the 85 when you feel your ready to step it up a notch..... you decide wich bike you ride.

 

how much work does the 85 take what do i have to do how many hours?

Huh???If you were refering to rompking when he said "work" I think he meant to ride the bike...Two strokes are easy tow ride but definately keeps skilled riders sharp and on their toes. People tend to get lazy when they ride 4strokes and slowly seatbounce every jump...But between these two bikes, theres such little difference that it all comes down to the rider.

 

ya thats what i ment and that is exactly what i was trying to say cuz when you ride a thumper all the time you dont pay as much attention because all you have todo is twist the throttle...where as on a 85 or 125 2 stroke you have to carry speed and keep your rpms up

 

im talking about matinence what do you have to do more matinence on?

 

all you have todo is change the oil every 3 rides,clean ur filter after every ride and mix ur gas....and rebuild the motor when it blows up..haha

 

on the 85 that is..the 150 is alot more money and maintainence

 

so your saying the 85 is less maitence??

 

much less

 

okay thanks guys for all the help

 

no problem man

 

i have both 85s and a 150r i like my 150 alot better the power difference is amazing but mine is mod

 

well i have to say 85 you have to do more maintenence on cuz you have to change the top end alot...but the 150 lasts wayy longer as far as rebuilds go but it is more expensive that 2 strokes...i kinda think 85s add up to as much money as a 150 will last untill it needs a rebuild.



i have a 150r and i love it it kicks ass my last 2 races were 1st place!

 

My 150 is nuts I can go so much fast on that then my 85 the power is much better on the 150 then the 85

 

^^^^^ agreed!

 

haha Im getting different answers I know 4stroke are more reliable but I'm hearing the 150 needs the valves re shimmed every 8-12 hours but I don't have too much money to spend on the valves is it easy to do by yourslef or how much is it

thats such a lie!!!

4-strokes are more reliable???? BS man. Trust me. I've had my 125 for about a year and a half now and not a single problem since I bought it. I havent touched the top end yet...All I do is change the spark pulg and tranny oil at a regular basis and put the recommended premix and Its been running in tip top shape for a good while now. The 150R on the other hand, I've had to shim the valves twice durring these past three months I've owned it. The only reliable 4stroke out there are those honda crf/xr trail bikes. No MX four stroke is a walk on the park when it comes to maintainence. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE the power that 4strokes let out its just a PAIN IN THE ASS to maintain.

 

go with the 150! its the way il get some pics up of mine pretty soon its in the shop getting new sprockets and fork seals
