The prototype version of the Honda CRF150L has been revealed at the 2017 GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show. The bike sports Russian motocross champion from HRC- Evgeny Bobryshev’s trademark ‘777’ livery.
Powering this motorcycle is a 149.2 cc single cylinder unit. The engine uses fuel injection and works in tandem with a 5-speed transmission. The chassis seems to be a semi double-cradle frame, like the one the Honda CRF150F uses. The bike features Showa long-travel inverted forks at the front and a monoshock with linkage at the rear. For anchorage, the bike uses disc brakes on both ends.
