[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 188307, member: 1650"] I think the 125's many of us are thinking about are the race bikes. NOT the ttrs etc. The tw is heavier than the rest by far. I see zero advantage for them unless you can't decide between an atv and a motorcycle. I have had converted dirt bikes. With the tires I want for the dirt I am not going to like them at all on the pavement. Bottom line for me is that for the price of converting a dirt only rig into something I can legally ride on the street, thus have something that is third rate one place and now second rate in another, it makes sense to spend just a little more and have two bikes. Both first rate for what they were intended. Never seemed smart even though I have done it. I also own dual sports and dirt only too. Get two rigs for each of you and if you want it right now, that is what dealerships are for. Getting a good rig at the right price can take time. Look at ktm's and Honda's too. Kdx 200/220's are great. Then go look at street bikes and increase your chances of having a safe ride. [/QUOTE]
