In stock form, the crf 150r only puts out around 21 hp. The yz 125 puts out 34 hp. The big debate now is why are 150r's allowed in the 85 class and the answer is who cares. We are entering year 2 with the 150r and we have kept it stock and while there are some advantages with this bike, overall, an 85 with any amount of engine work will out perform in hp in the straights depending on track conditions. Couple that with a supermini, than there is no competition. People do not understand that in order to get 21 hp, out of the 150r or any 150 4 stroke for that matter, the cc's have to be increased. If you were to make an 85 cc 4 stroke, it wouldn't be competitive anywhere except the OI 50 class. I might be exaggerating with that scenario, but you get the idea. So, this Big Wheel Crf 150r must have had some bolt on kit for it to really be competitive with a 125.
