    Anyone else notice the side panel stickers say CR150 (on left side) and 150CR (on the right side)?

    I did... those won't be on long, pre-prints will take care of that. Pretty odd though...

    My guess they had small intial dealer orders for this model,to this day only about 6 or 7 dealers actually have a WR150 on thier showfloor and they have none left for the year in the wharehouse.If you were a distributor how would you look at it.Im thinking thier being to nice and many dealers are not being forced to buy a bit of everything,I know for a fact only about 12 dealers have a Wr250 on the showfloor ,everyones got 300s but me I sold mine Saturday but more on the way the Wr250 is awesome cant sell them if all you have are 300s.Honda even started getting that way only supplying Crs and CRfs in numbers by how many dealers actually ordered,kind of did it to themselves.If they odered 4 in 09 they only got 4 more in 10 if only 3 then only 3 came in.
    Thats part of it,but Im hoping and really thinking that its just preperation for getting 2012 back on track for normal delivery times to get bikes here for magazine test and being in the hunt with the rest of the brands.I think they are doing it too,had the best February in 15 years and have already sold 4 new bikes this month, not to toot our own horn but we have sold more new Huskys since JAN 1 to date than most dealers sold average all last year and made darn good $$$ on all of them ,thanks to rebates and 1.99% financeing?I think Huskys back big time and ordering alot of bikes has paid off for us year after year.Sorry not to ramble guys just telling how I see it,billf

    ah... good insight there Bill... maybe 2012 will be big then? My dealer has a 150 sitting there... seems to sell his share of SM/TE models.

    Krieg, that is one sweet bike. It makes me wish I was 16 yrs old and still weighed 160 lbs. The deals on the leftover 125 were unreal but because of my height and 200+ weight I went with a leftover wr250 from Bills. Now I wait in anticipation for nice weather days like a kid waiting for Christmas.

    I'm usually around 205 but I'm 220 now which may not be too heavy but I'm a little over 6'6" tall and It seemed to me that I would look like a monkey on a football. [IMG] I grew up riding 125s and was tempted to go back, maybe once my riding skills start coming back I'll give one a try. My GASGAS 200 is kind of in the middle ground.

    Lankydog,

    If you feel at home on the WR250 the CR150 will fit perfect. My riding weight is easily 230 lbs(all back pack and tools[IMG]) I do carry 20 lbs on my back. Between tools, 2 litres of fuel, 3 liters of water, all the various extra's and a first aid kit, it is 20#'s. That leaves 40 lbs of boots, helmet, and gear[IMG]. The cr 150 will take you anywhere the WR 250 does and many many of them faster and you won't be whipped when you get there. I loved my WR 250 but it just isn't as much fun.
