Depends if you're buying new or not. Not sure what the latest CR125 engine is like but the last few years they've been soft. The RM hauls. I know where I'd put my money.

I'd stay away from both of 'em just because 125's wear out engine parts super fast. Have you ever checked out a crf230 or a kdx200/220? both are awesome in the woods and have decent power.

Re: RM125 or the CR125
ok thanx. i was looking at the kdx200, because i have some woods to ride in, but i have mostly fields to rip around, and i like the powerband of the motocross two strokes. Ive had fourstrokes and i just like the sound of the 2-stroke and the powerband of them more than 4-strokes.

I like my cr, but also love the yz. RM's are pretty quick but the quality just ins't there in my opinion. The kdx200 is also a great bike for the trails and such, and can even get around a track if your not too serious about it..

This man is right.
Whatever is cheapest or convienent at the time, they're all the same.
I will add:
1. Don't buy new.
2. Unless you want to spend 2-3 times as much, count out the models with the letter F in them, the 4 strokes are stupid expensive.

And also, I would buy new if possible. It sucks picking up other peoples problems..Also, just because it is a honda doesn't mean you don't change the oil or do topends. It still needs to keep fresh, lol.

PS. Buy what fits you and feels best. Ergo's IMO are more important then power..
