    Depends on your size and which makes you feel more

    comfortable,but the CRF230F is probably the better

    bike.Keep in mind these are great learning bikes,but as

    your skills develope you'll want more,trust me...

    I concur. I went from a 230F to a 450R. My son went from a 150F to the 230F. Now he's riding a KTM MXC200 (2-stroke.) Comparibly, the 200 is probably something like a 350->400-ish cc 4-stroke (total guess on my part.) Any in any case, you will find yourself wanting for more.

    The 230 is a great bike...if you fit on it, don't waste your time or money with the 150. However, if you think you'll be getting into some woods or track competitions, you might want to consider the 250X/R (and that's assuming you're only interested in Honda.) Best thing is to make sure you go visit dealers and really take your time checking out the bikes.

    Damn...good point! Sorry for the "failure to communicate." I know NOTHING about the 150R and I did love my 230 however, I'd go with power and suspension. Best advice...listen to AS and give more details. I promise I'll learn to READ by the next time you post.

    The 230X......oops, they haven't made one yet! :lol:

    Seriously....go to the mountaintop with specifics and return with scrolls of opinions from AS. ;)
