Positioned in Honda's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Honda CRF150R features a 149 cc (9.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22.3 HP (16.2 kW) at 12,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 13.6 Nm (10 lb-ft) at 10,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 149.7 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (10,000 rpm) and peak power (12,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the CRF150R measures 75 kg (165 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.3 HP/kg (3.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 832 mm (32.8 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,260 mm (49.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.3-liter (1.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
