Best 2 strk MX bike???

My RM costs only $250 for a top end rebuils adn the next one is only $150, but then the recoating is going to fucking sting me $350 +

The think is a 125 is great, but if you are anyhting near or over 80kg you may find you want smoething bigger.

My thinking is - better to go bigger and not use it all teh time than get a 125 adn ring teh nuts off it all the time. Unless you want a cheaper bike as the 125's are a bit cheaper. Any one of teh newer bikes are good. I'd try to find a 01 + any of the 250's

but need to know

how tall are you?
How much do you weigh?

Im near 6ft and weigh 76kgs
What exactly doese your bike need done??? How much??? How often???

my bike, I may as well ahve got two of tehm, I more or less do now! my mistake - getting an old bike...... And thinking I knew it all when looking at them - I was wrong....

Anyway I think you'd be happier on a 250, but satisfied on a 125. Parts between teh bikes isn't that different pricewise. Suzuki is generally quite cheap for spares. Honda sting you a bit. Kawa and yammies - dunno.

Best idea, ride some (if you can)

im 6 ft and 74 kg's and the 125 carries me fine and fast, I would get a 125 if you want to go racing more then trail riding, if trails are you thing then go for a 250, just more managable and more toque in them. Have you riden a 2 stroke MXer before, even a 125 will blow a xr250 away.

**crazyxr250rider** · 27th August 2006, 16:45

Yes i Have ridden heaps of 250 2 strk mx'ers and am getting a 250!!! its not deciding whether to get a 125 or 250 any more its which 250......

RMX, just teh older version of teh RM from teh year it is and got a stand, heavier fly wheel and mellowed down a bit. Good bikes, radiators are hard to finmd, but about $100 + to get fixed each. how bad are they?
