You would be picking from the

You would be picking from the 125s so. Imo I would go with a yz125 great bike cheap to run too. No point in putting mods on the 125 compared to your old 150 that thing is a animal.

ya and no

i dont no i hav gotten my bike to 72 before

i put a aftermarhet exhaust and put 2 stroke valves on it so they wont burn if i rev too high

but the thing that kills me about it is it weighs so much
225lbs stock and like 235 now cause of the other parts its so heavy
plus im a little tall for it

did u just say that u put 2 s

did u just say that u put 2 stroke valves on your 4 stroke crf150f, "So that whenu rev so high they wont burn". because let me tell u a little story. ya see the valves in a 4 stroke are made of metal and are round and located in the head of the engine. they let fuel in and exhaust out. the valves on a 2 stroke(reed valves) are located on the intake manifold and are thin pieces of nylon or other suitable material, they control back pressure in the intake manifold. so wat im sayin with all the is; what the hell did u put on yur bike because 2 strokes dont have valves!!! anyone else catch that.

you could go with a kx100 but i dont know if there a racing class, i pesonally dont ride kawis bbut if your just riding it should be fine, but when you say a 125 or 250 is two big, not really since your coming off a 150, ive been riding for four year and after three year of riding i went from a xr100 to a crf230 and it wasent a big step up,

Hahaha dam you tig. I wanted to slag him about putting 2 stroke valves in a 4 stroke haha.

You got ur bike to 72. A 450f would only be a little bit faster than that with stock gearing.

Hold on your one of theses 12 year olds that dont have a clue what they talk about??????.

im 17 and have been workin on engines since i was 6. electronics too. i build robots, and weld, and attach engines to lots of unsuspecting items like bicycles. like everyone else, i had a nitro rc car, rebuilt that completely too. ive know how to do all this stuff and im only 17. never taken my car to a mechanic and ive been deep into it. once, 1 more bolt and the engine would have been on the floor, all to replace my clutch. it sounds like he is talkin about nitro plane engines to me also. which are great to start on, i had my nitro rc car when i was like 12 and it taught me a few things. idk, if u dont believe the whole engine knowledge and wat not, i have pics of some of my robots and motorized bikes plus, i have pics of my rmz250 after the rebuild and it runs so i must kno wat im doin lol. check out www.mototips.com im the moderator there and i have pics of my bike up there. we are always lookin for new members over there, become one and make sure u say that tigmaster reffered u.

yeah i would definitally go w

yeah i would definitally go with a bigger bike, because (im not positive but if tig reads this he can correct me) if you put a bigger wheel on it ecspecially without modifing the shocks you can mess up your stabilization and straightness wich would mess up your turning, a far as lift kits (correct me again tig) i dont think there is any liftkit at least not safely, and puting a t-4 and drive conversion and a big bore kit, kid in a year maybe two your going to be getting a bigger bike anyway so just step it up now, and modify your new bike perferably a 125 or 250.
