Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a full-blown motocross competition machine best suited to intermediate and expert-level off-road racers, not casual beginners.
PurposeBuilt purely for motocross track racing, it excels at hard acceleration out of corners, jumps, and aggressive closed-course riding rather than any form of general transportation.
Rider FitThe tall 32.8 in. seat height, kick start, and close-ratio 5-speed demand a fit, confident rider comfortable standing on pegs and manhandling a light but high-strung bike.
CharacterIt's a lightweight, high-revving 150cc four-stroke racer with fully adjustable long-travel suspension, rewarding an aggressive, committed riding style.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for commuting, highway travel, carrying a passenger, or riders wanting comfort, low seat height, or plug-and-play electric starting.

2009 Honda CRF150R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 832mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2009 Honda CRF150R, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
