Hi All,

I'm a new rider looking at the honda 150r vs. 150rb.  I'm 5.4" and leaning toward the RB, but found an R for quite a bit less.  Do you happen to know if it's possible to add larger wheels to the R?  Would love to hear your opinion on this.. Thanks!!  

no. you cannot put bigger wheels on. i have an 80 and i have tried putting bigger wheels on mine and its not possible.

what?! i didn't know that.

what about supermoto bikes then?

how much more is the RB  

the rb should only be about $300 more new, but u cant put bigger wheels on the r unless u get a new swingarm, frame and some other stuff

Supermoto bikes just have a smaller and wider wheel than stock.

frame, swingarm, suspension.

supermoto is a completely different story.

what you could do is get an rb, and if it's too tal, then buy smaller wheels and put the big ones back on when you grow into it

no that wont work either. the frame will ride on the ground.

You must been on the tall side of 5'4... the 150R is perfect height for me at 5'4.

Have you ridden either of the 150R or 150RB? Let me know, I have yet to ride a 150RB.

R and RB?, i thought it was 150f and 150r one for racing and other for trail riding.  

the rb has bigger wheels then the r, and the f is just a trail bike
