125 two-strokes?

[mandm40]

hey im looking at geting a 125 2stroke and because there not heaps of them around and no places to rent them i have not been able to try any of them. i know that most people are on KTM SX but for some one new to racing (not ridding) is the extra 3k worth a it? there a nice KX im look at but i really dont no much about any of the 125 2stokes. any help would be ever welcome :) thanks for ya time.

Heaps of fun, unless your racing mx at 10 10ths then the differences between the brands arent that important. Just get a well looked after one.

KTM...
Brembo brakes
Hydraulic clutch
WP suspension

Id say its worth the bit of extra cash for racing.

I found the CR125s to be the most reliable, 5 mates had them none gave problems. KX125s i wouldn't touch 2 mates had them both blew up and after working on both CR125s and KX125s the KX125 seemed a bit dated and harder to work on. Al tho after i rebuilt the KX125s they haven't given trouble since.

Here is a mates old CR125 to bad some body has chopped the seat :( He brought from the first owner who was super fussy, My mate hardly rode it and spent more time cleaning it for 2 years and he sold it to a guy at Huntly Honda. The rest is in the description on the add.

At 3g its cheap compared to others on trade me. Just get that seat replaced.

Also because Japs no longer make 125s they tend to hold there value.
