the Honda CRF150F comes out
as 156cc stock, making it the
upper class limit. The engine
must be a two-valve, air-cooled,
four-stroke, and you can then
build the engine up to a modified
class limit of 175cc via a range of
aftermarket parts, many of them
made in China and Indonesia.
"Colin's [Edwards] been get-
ting right behind the concept
of late," says Prussiano. "I built
him a 171cc motor based off a
TT-R125, which was the second
of that type I'd made. He signed
up for a race and, basically, he
found the vein! He's in the pro-
cess of building a second bike
right now—he's hooked."
The best thing about the class
is you can spend as much or as
little money as you like and enter
a race with a competitive pack-
age. Craigslist is your best friend
here.
"You can get crazy and spend
a bunch of money if you want
to, but you can keep a lot of
that cash in your pocket and still
have a fast bike," says Prus-
siano. "If you picked up a 2003-
'05 kick-start Honda CRF150F
model, you can fit a ready-made
