GET OFF TO THE RIGHT START
Some people don’t take small motorcycles seriously. But that’s definitely not the case with the 2023 Honda CRF150R and CRF150R Expert. And you’ll know that for a fact the first time you ride one—or try to race against one! It all starts with the high-performance Unicam® engine, a Honda exclusive that’s light, compact, high-revving and powerful. Inspired by our open-class CRF450R’s engine, it also offers legendary Honda quality and dependability—just the thing for a long racing season. What’s the difference between these two bikes? Our Expert model uses the same great engine and frame, but features bigger wheels, a longer swingarm and higher seat to better suit taller riders.
