    Oh man that is so sad, pack of bastards not fixing your bike I remember when I was 14, I bought an XL125 and was I cool and then it shit itself too and no F&#king money to fix it.

    I was so impressed with the power, I could almost pull a wheelie, the only way I could do a burnout was in 1st gear with the front wheel against the wall, was a fairly slow burnout, in fact it just about put you to sleep watching but it was still cool compared to the BMX.

    Fourteen? fuck I didn't get my first bike til I was 30.

    Buy one, ride it for a couple of years sell it, buy the other and you can make your own mind up, it's called experience because everyone has their own ideas on what makes a bike rock.

    Technical design limitation, there; If it'd had any more power you'd have bent the spagetti forks.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    that 200EXC looks nice, probably steer away from the older ktm, the husky looks sweet, although they seem wide in the tank knee area, the exc is quite slim.

    they use bits of all sorts a makes of bikes from yamaha to honda to what ever
    What ?, I dont understand that comment,
    is it somehow unlike japanese car manufacturers you mean ?


    Noobies had gg's for must be coming up to 4 years now ?
    Done in excess of 300 hrs riding
    had 2 dnf's.
    Probably hrs riden vs repairs or dnf's better than your bike barty.

    But, everythings covered off already / depends what you want to do with the bike.

    ok so given i did a oh 146 hrs before it was stolen and only ever had to do routine things such as oil and chains ooh and 1 piston at 100hrs you spent and waited how long for parts on the 125 when it blew ???? so i wouldn't even try that one cause i think my ruff figure of around a $1000 including tyres, oil filter, chains etc etc ( not including fuel for 146 hrs isnt so bad
