the rb should only be about $300 more new, but u cant put bigger wheels on the r unless u get a new swingarm, frame and some other stuff

Hi All,
I'm a new rider looking at the honda 150r vs. 150rb. I'm 5.4" and leaning toward the RB, but found an R for quite a bit less. Do you happen to know if it's possible to add larger wheels to the R? Would love to hear your opinion on this.. Thanks!! -
no. you cannot put bigger wheels on. i have an 80 and i have tried putting bigger wheels on mine and its not possible.
-
what?! i didn't know that.
what about supermoto bikes then?
how much more is the RB -
Supermoto bikes just have a smaller and wider wheel than stock.TMG125what?! i didn't know that.

frame, swingarm, suspension.
supermoto is a completely different story. -
what you could do is get an rb, and if it's too tal, then buy smaller wheels and put the big ones back on when you grow into it-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
id rather be a loser than a quitter -
no that wont work either. the frame will ride on the ground.
-
o, really?
didnt think of that-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_id rather be a loser than a quitter -
You must been on the tall side of 5'4... the 150R is perfect height for me at 5'4.
Have you ridden either of the 150R or 150RB? Let me know, I have yet to ride a 150RB.— Lindsey

R and RB?, i thought it was 150f and 150r one for racing and other for trail riding.
-
the rb has bigger wheels then the r, and the f is just a trail bike-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_id rather be a loser than a quitter

So when you say your feet touched, I'm guessing they didn't fall flat on the ground?03_xr100im like 5'2 or 3— Lindsey

o so there is and F but there are to race bike 150's one is a 150 race and the other is a 150 race big-wheel hence the "B".
-
As fiolek said,
F - trail bike
R - race bike
RB - big-wheel race bike

the rb has a different suspension, swing arm, and wheels, probably a different triple clamp too. it may have a different frame.03_xr100the rb has bigger wheels then the r, and the f is just a trail bike
the f sucks, dont buy it. -
Let me clear this up.
You CAN put R wheels on an RB. Nothing bad will happen.
You must replace the rear brake line - that's all.
The RB has a longer swingarm, a stiffer rear spring, a stiffer set of fork springs, a larger sprocket, larger wheels and tires, and a longer rear brake line.
If you put the R wheels on it and the shorter brake line, it will sit a couple inches lower. It will be stiff for a light rider, so you may want to consider swapping out the springs to get it right.**
Here we go again! -
skip, i have tried it on my 80. the swingarm was too skinny for it to fit. the tire rubbed the fenders when i bottomed out. now that is on my 80 and that is what i am going by but i dont think the 150 would be a much different story.
-
Some bikes won't tolerate this, as is the case with your 80. The CRF150R/RB is a bit different... Honda kept the changes to a minumum, the plastic is the same, the frame and subrame are the same, and the axle spacing at the swingarm is the same, just a couple inches longer on the RB, and the shaft length on the shock is the same. Heck, the linkage is the same on both.**
Here we go again! -
the spacing at the axle fit but where the tire is, it wouldnt fit there.
-
I'm 5 foot 3 1/2, 120lbs. and my cr85rb fits me perfect(same bike except it is a 2-stroke)--------------------------------
