Crf 150
Better Suspension
More power
faster
better acceleration
better engine
more travel of suspension
A downfall is that it is heavier

WHat do you plan on doing with it?

The only downfall that the CRF has to the TTR is the weight, but it is there for good reason.  Everything on the CRF is built sturdier, and it is a bike that can be pushed much harder than the TTR.

Bottom line is that if you want the better bike, go with the Honda.

I was lucky enough to have the chance to ride both the TTR and CRF before making the same choice.  Both were fun but the CRF was a just enough taller to make it more comfortable to ride.  I'm not a tall rider at 5'6, but the TTR, even with a tall seat, was a bit cramped.  Performance differences aside I went with the the CRF due mostly to how I felt on the ride.  I now race my 150 and am doing well, and staying in front of most the TTRs.  Some of those guys are 6 foot plus - I have no idea how they do it.  

If you're just going trail riding then being comfortable may be more important, but if you decide to race then the weight difference might play big in your choice.  

Best of luck with your choice.
