I was wandering what would be a good bike either the CR125 or the RM125. Im looking for quality, fast, and can ride in the woods a little bit. Thanx

 

Not much of a difference between any of the big 4, go with what youre used to, where your loyalties are...
or whichever you can find cheapest

 

if your gonna stunt, get a 4-stroke

 

honda

 

Nah, Suzuki cheap for parts and if your gonna stunt either get a 4 stroke or a Gas Gas

 

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.

 

its up to you ive always ridden honda dirtbikes for one reason there reliable and you cant destroy them

 

if ur getting a knew bike go with a yamaha , they make the best 2 stroke motors and the fastest...

 

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.

hows the RM125 in the woods?

 

Because we all know you are going to be needing them since it's a suzuki...

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..

exactly honda is the best brand there is to get go with the cr125 it wont let you down..

 

yea, but i heard the cr125 is has a weak engine.

 

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.

 

Lol not to sound like a **** but I suppose you have the ability to use all the power of that 'underpowered' engine? If you only have the ability to handle 50% of the bikes power, then it doesnt matter if another bike has 20% more power...

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..

 

yea, i just heard that the cr125 doesnt have a strong engine compared to yz or rm or sx. for me suzukis been known to be reliable.

 

Well noobkid a 10% increase is speed is useful. A good motor does make a differance, look at all the good 125 riders getting blown away by the moderate 250f riders.

 

Thats a differant kind of power. Even I'm faster on a 250f then my own bike, but I'm pretty much equal on all the 125's.

And this is Max from db.com, lol.
