I go to Monarch Honda, in Orem, UT when I buy a new bike. I won't deal with the Ride Now's in Vegas, and that's pretty much all there is. Anyway, I've had a $200 deposit down on a CT, since they were announced. I got a call today, saying they had one. They knew I had already bought a CT, but were just checking. I told them to hold on to the deposit and I'd take a white, XR when they arrived. The salesman told me probably April or May. Looking forward to it.

😂 smart.

As a customer of Ride Now to get my CT125, I understand the Ride Now feels. They were 10th on my list of 10 dealers. I'll be interested in your thoughts on the XR150L... or should I say, the modifications you're about to make :)

I'll figure out out to attach a Harbor Freight case for sure. Those are so handy.

Well we will see, just need to wait it out a year and wait for people to ride it and decide they don’t like it. Pick one up used while just riding the ct and waiting around.

I put a deposit on the first white one coming to my local dealership. Dealer here says late May. Does anyone know if the XR shares the same frame/motor/airbox as the CRF150F? I would think so, but we know Honda sometimes changes things up a bit. Just thinking of mods already, as I usually put an exhaust on most of my bikes and an open airbox and good air filter. Not afraid of re jetting, actually prefer that!

WeBike also lists a CRF150L, (looks like a Moto and Dual Sport) wonder if the XR is on that platform?

Nice! I like the term ghetto; seems we never get the cool stuff!

Walked past one of these on the way into the dealer when I picked up my Trail. It turned my head for sure. I sent a web link for it to my wife and she about fell in love with the thing. Like me, she's wanted something smaller and dare I say cheaper to ride to work than what she currently has, the XR might hit the spot. Here I thought I was moving the stable away from carburetors. 😆

Saw someone riding the opposite direction on one. I don't mind the carbs but I do wish it didn't come with a rear drum brake.

I’m waiting for a 300L Rally, they due in august. Something a little bigger, faster and more trail worthy for times when I know the ride will require more than what the ct can dish out. Anyone know where the XR150L is manufactured? Low price makes me think low quality.
