- www.crosstrainingenduro.com tractionerag.com We said it before, we'll say it again. It's more about the rider than the bike. Put an A grade rider on any old plodder and they will whip the ass of an average rider on the latest and greatest. Extensive testing by Traction e Rag proves it is 80 percent the rider, only 20% the bike. Allowing for variables such as the size of your genitals and your beer intake. And keeping in mind those old bikes are often crazy fast. Our comprehensive testing covers the stupidly fast and modern CRF250RX, then the half as powerful CRF250F. We also include a blast from the past, this XR200. And finally the pint sized pocket rocket, the Honda CRF150F.
Our test track? The Megatron, designed by our test rider, the pint-sized pocket rocket Megs Braap. Our chase rider chasing the Honda CRF150F? The fumbling gumby himself, Barry Morris. Lets see if that dirt muppet can keep up.
None of us think Megs will get a good lap time on the Honda CRF150F. If she finishes at all on the Megatron race track. She has never ridden this tiny bike before. She only rides a two stroke 300 normally. This little Honda has almost super soft suspension. Very little suspension. There is no rear brake because the lever is too low. But even with all those handicaps I have trouble keeping up with a much better bike and well more than double the horsepower of the Honda CRF150F. It's all very embarrassing. This is just a few snapshots from the longer supporters vid of the Megatron race track. Megs discusses her Honda CRF150F lap with her mechanic, then we do another lap from my perspective and check out Meg's riding style more, and compare lap times with other bikes. Get into it. Okay, lets do that again but from my perspective. It was amazing how little difference power made on this Megatron race track with the Honda CRF150F, most of the time I was working hard to stay with Megs on the Honda CRF250RX. And if it wasn't for a few mistakes I doubt I would have kept up with her. And all those mistakes were from having no rear brake. On this straight I can't believe how fast she accelerates with less than 15hp from the Honda CRF150F. I have heard people say anything over 20hp is just wheelspin with the Honda CRF250RX. That isn't always true but on this tight track it shows that ability is much more important than outright power. Damn look at her go! This really is quite humiliating. If the rear brake was set up properly on the Honda CRF150F and Megs had a few practice laps to get used to the little 150 there is no way I would keep up with her. Doh into neutral on the Honda CRF250RX and Megs shoots ahead. Thankfully Megs is a gear too high here and the little 150 bogs down and I can catch up again. I think Megs is just starting to come to grips with tiny bike now and she pulls ahead. This is ridiculous, I should catch her straight away on this more open section but it takes ages to reel her in again. Now it's into the tight flat corners, lets see if I can stay with her. Megs pushes a fraction too hard on these corners and slips more than planned. That short wheelbase and tiny wheels make the 150 quite unstable when the rear slides out on the Megatron race track. Lets have a quick look at lap times compared to the Honda CRF250RX. Given all the handicaps, this lap on the 150 was the slowest but not by much. Megs was only 10 seconds faster on the XR200 and CRF250F. And about 25 seconds faster on her own bike and the powerful CRF250RX.

I've said in past videos that disconnecting the brake is a good way to make yourself a faster rider. This just proves the point.
I was once riding around a MX track, getting pretty confident with my skills as i was able to pull in any of the other weekend warriors
Until a rider comes on the track and just inhaliated me, enough for me & everyone else to sit and watch him do a couple laps
He eventually gets off and takes off his helmet, to my suprise he is an older man in his 50s
I asked him on how i can improve and what he said was just that "Don't touch the brakes throughout the track and gain more speed each lap"
Megs braap is awesome. What a nice suprise video. Keeping it low key by not adding it to the title. Very cool crossover
anybody that can jump on a strange bike and make it gallop deserves respect. as always megs got mine as we say round here . a top bird
Agreed. I always played catch up, on my 200 (XR or KDX), with the latest and greatest when we got into the tight stuff. Same for the street. Always caught up, on my 03 Ducati Multistrada, to the latest and greatest sport bikes in the twisties.
Yes! I remember a mate with his Casey Stoner replica Fireblade. He would disappear on every long straight but then I'd catch up under brakes and through corners on my old SV650 twin.
Watching you videos makes me want to ride my bike but I’m stuck in lock down again in Victoria
The 80% rider theory is valid and some of us can tell you why it is so.
this was funny lol wish u went more into the 150f
Good video 🤘👍👍👍
I believe Megs could lap hard even on a tweeker's motorized beach cruiser.
And still embarrass the rest of us on our latest and greatest enduro models lol
Baz the amount of big bikes asses I’ve kicked on the trails with the mighty Xr100 is staggering ,it’s not about power at all it’s all about cunning trickery and cheating hehe little bikes rock cheers
I used to have it's brother the XL100 when I was a teenager... what a wheelie beast that was lol. Yes it's amazing how fast a small bike can be if you don't have long straights where the bigger bikes can pull away.
@@crosstrainingenduro hehe they’ll wheely everywhere mate I’ve got3 xrs just luv em got the boys stuffed why they can’t keep up like I say if you wanna fly it’s gotta have wings hehe cheers bro
I had a xr200 brand new in 84 ,out of the dozens of bikes since I still recon it was very close to being one of the best.
Those dual carb'd ones were really good bikes!
Have you seen our tribute to the mighty XR200? (blessed be its name). th-cam.com/video/jbRSQ3zaOJg/w-d-xo.html
What was the idea behind dual carbs?
@@crosstrainingenduro MO Powa!! 😉 More fuel + More air = BIGGER BANG!
We have a crf100 at the house and it’s fun but I don’t have to take as much ibuprofen after riding the excf. Suspension is good for old guys with suspect riding skills.
Good times
After mods…could an adult use this for some enduro? I’m thinking big wheels, and big bore kit and other minor things…
shes got mad skills
She’s doing a training event for our club in a few months in the states. 3 days sold out in minutes
Great to hear! I've co-coached with her a few times and she's very good at it. We have all been compiling stuff from a pile of pro level riders and refined the coaching over the past four years. 😊
Haa that li'l girl was handlin that mini beast one a your narration guys sound like he could be from the stuff they don't want you to know ch. 😅🤘
Track bike vs trail gojira. What did you expect I was able to keep up with 450 and 650 dual sports. 150 is the best trail bike on the market. Not the fastest but she grips and goes
It defo 80% the rider, untill you rock up and bike refuses to start and run even though it ran fine when you put it in the van, then it's mostly the bike
Unless you are really good at pushing the bike and need some exercise. Or it's downhill all the way home. 🤣
We want Barry back
I have a 2008 150 f and if you pull the top of the air box under the seat it revs like hell
Did that to my 2010 one.
i have the dual purpose version of this bike, crf150L, but the bike is very underpowered to have a proper enduro. i think im gonna buy some performance kit to increase the size of the engine to have like around 200-300cc. overall very nice video, i think im gonna try 150f and give it to my kid
If you want performance look for the parts on the r. It makes nearly double the power stock
@@joebone3151 sadly, crf150l and crf150r have a very different engine so the parts is not interchangeably
@@admin5448 that's sucks.
She does good
I'd like to see her do the same lap on the crf150r. She would smoke everyone.
Yeah but what kind of tires was she using and how often has the oil been changed? By the way the bike was handling I'd say there was 10.4 to 10.9 psi in the tires. For that terrain I'd recommend 10.25 psi. LOL
Wang Chang knobbies. Oil changes every fourth gear change. Air pressure adjusted halfway up each hill to maintain consistency with barometric pressure.
Wasn't sure if I should laugh or be offended by the insanity comment at the end 😂😡
I'm afraid the Aussie sense of humor is often aimed at leaving people in that predicament lol
@@crosstrainingenduro I laughed out loud at first then thought whaaaaaaaat?
Its probably more than 80% , perhaps
90%, however, Jarvis on a 2T 300 would
always beat Jarvis on a CRF250F. You can
learn serious skills on just about anything,
its so very worthwhile to ride anything you
can afford, vs waiting till you have that perfect bike.
To advance and compete you won't
cut it on a Honda 90 or TW200 in hard enduro,
but so many other bikes will work.
A lot of us love to learn and talk about different bike models,
that's why I love to hear CTE discussing and pointing out
lots of different bike models in their travels.
Just about any bike will work for starting out, a bike, and
a generous stable of Clint Eastwood Quotes will keep you
satisfied, alive and well, out on the trail.
“I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.” Clint knows his stuff!
@@crosstrainingenduro Yes he does;
''...was that 5 or was that 6 shots...''
Cutting edge technology from Honda.
Only the best cables used in these clutches, Marty 😅
Very funny, yes the rider makes the most difference unless it's alot of high speed riding.👍🇦🇺🍺
Throw softer!
Being a honda fanboy, I liked the honda motif.
I pretty much grew up riding Hondas as a kid so always liked them... QA50, XR75, XL100, XL125, XL175, TLR250R....
Seul problème avec le 150f c'est la porté au sol. J'ai passer proche m'arracher les pieds quelque fois quand je l'ai essayé. Sinon, vraiment fun et quand même rapide!
C'est une bete vicieuse vraiment lol
come on Bary, following teenagers at your age? ;)
😂 Well Megs is closing in on 30 now and you can see I'm not exactly keeping up!
I think you should challenge meg to a bikini bike ride but only meg can wear bikini 😁
I have a mankini....
@@crosstrainingenduro I thought your group normally keeps the tutu on you?
I detect cheating!!!..... 😂🤣
Who me? Surely you mean Megs lol
Brakes are for quitters.
😅
