Need helping making decision

Hey welcome matty Gee. Damn rude of the KB Off Road fraternity not to acknowledge your entry. Rude bastards they be

You're on the right track with either a KDX or a KX125 (or similar) and I'm sure you will enjoy both.

Be careful not to absorb everything that Booom, scott411, Buddy L, and the like say as they are really novice riders and sometime talk themselves up a bit.

Be especially careful of Chop and Danger as they hang out together and are considered a couple of like minded westies

what kind of weight is too heavy for a 125?

any weight will be fine, lighter the better realy, but saying that i have a cousin well above the 110kg mark and can realy make his 125 fly, and its hard to keep up with him.

Probably no more than 80/85KG

I have an older KX125, am around the 70kg mark (short arse I am) and it is awesome, absolutely love it. I haven't done a lot of trail riding with it but what I have done has been sweet. As others have said if you stop on a nice steep hill it takes a bit to get back up and going (but once you get good on it this shouldn't be much of a problem). As for the nice farm land type trail riding my KX125 fly's, even have problems keeping the front wheel on the ground.

Awesome bike to play on, able to throw it around, and will be keeping it for a few years.

Is just love how nimble and responsive 125sx's are, its awsome.
As far as top end power goes its at a par with my old yzf.....

The big advantage of the KDX over a 125 is mainly the power delivery and low maintenance, its really a great engine with plenty down low to tractor around with, while still having decent top end.
And these things will go 100+ hours without a ring change, god knows how long a piston will last...!

A 125 has the advantage of better suspension and lighter weight...also they are cheaper to buy second hand, so you will get a later model bike for your money.

I had to sell my KDX recently, but it was a great trail bike and I would recommend one to anyone. But by the same token, if (when!!!) I get another bike I may go for a 125 mainly for the lower initial cost (will be on a budget!).

Good luck with your decision.
