You want an XL125S. They have the good 6-speed gearbox and the good head. I'm pretty sure the cam from a XL200 fits straight in. All the others lack something, either the heads aren't as good or they have a 5-speed gearbox. Unless you go for a CB125T. John Connor seems to have a knack for making them go VERY well.

John organises and runs bucket racing in Auckland with help from Wendy. He also modifies and tunes Karl Morgan's 125T and has a hand in a couple of other fast 125Ts. He makes them handle in addition to making them go fast. He also invests a lot of time and effort into Karl's "real" racing and is generally a top bloke. Anyone only needs to ask and he will assist them by running their bikes on his homemade dyno.
