[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 195665, member: 1650"] I like 125's for me, and if you bought one (two stroke such as a yz or rm etc) I think you would do better on that one as far as a racebike is concerned compared to the yz250. I like the 6 speed 125's much better than the 5 speed bikes since you have a more versatile rig. If you are talking about a 4 stroke 125 such as a tt125 I think it would be fine to start out on. If you buy the 125 two stroke you can expect it to feel lighter than the 250's and 450's and probably will require lower gearing to begin with so you can start off in gear easier and get around tracks or trails. I have a couple of them (yz 125's ) of the older design with bigbore kits on them that make a much easier engine to ride trails with and they have been VERY reliable. I have seen some that came from "butcher shops" that ran poorly and broke often, so buying one that didnt come from a good source is risky. Pay 5-600 for one in need of a cylinder and build your own is my suggestion if one of those interests you. [/QUOTE]
