Whats up Fellaz.Im going to buy my first real dirtbike really soon,and its going to be a CR125. Im hopeing to get the 03" model and well, if werst comes to werst Im going for the used models from just recent years.I was told to get the 97 or 98 model and up, because of its aluminum frame or something like that. If You Own a CR125 Can you tell me the Pros and Cons of this bike?

 

i had one, i liked it way better than the other brands but thats just me

 

I have a 2002 KX125 we bought brand new a month or 2 ago and i love it. It was somtin like 3700 and it was just a left over bike they never sold. I like the 6 speed gear box on it. thats my

 

ive got a 99 that is fuggin invincible. get a honda any honda they are all trooper *** bike take a healthy beating and keep rollin. if you can grab a 03 do it if not i think the first year of aluminum frame for the 125 was in 98 but i could be wrong

good luck bro

 

I have a 99' RM125 all stock, not beat on, minor scratches and scrapes. Run's 110% , everything works. $1700 or BO

 

cr is the slowest stock but best suspension and speed mods are cheaper than suspension

 

Little tip, u guysmay be all concerned bout pipes and silencers (i was like that b4) But the really money is in porting. For 120$ you can have eric gorr port u bike and make it crazy. Easily beats a 180$ pipe.

 

this guy knows his shyt take his work, i am very happy with the port job i got. just my .02

 

98 was thefirst year for the aluminu8m on the 125

 

i second that deal about pipes and crap porting is the way to go

 

pipes look cool, and all the real pimps liek me get both man i kinda miss my kx

 

im not trying to drop hate on anyone on here but 90% of guys that i see with moded bikes(pipe, port, whatever) dont have the skill level to even put all of their stock motor to use

just keep in mind that it dosent do you any good to have a bike with tons of horse power if you dont have the skill to use it..

good luck with your search!

 

oh hey fmxrider did you wver get that bike running( or am i thinking of somone else)?

 

hey vegas, its torn down right now im rebuilding the top end at school in auto tech class. so it should be about 2 weeks untill it is running again. im waiting on my gasket kit to come in, and the water pump to come in also. after that i just have to adjust my clutch to get it to work right. thanx for the help with the cooling problem i had. up in ohio we have had a few nice days were i was bummed that i could of been riding, but i ordered my stuff before x-mas, and it still isnt in yet but soon it will be running again. lata-Jason aka OPIE

 

true to what vegas said, what good is all that power if you cant use it? im not trying to knock anyone here but these 125's come stock packin a can of whoop *** for you, just my .02

 

i put mine to use well , no matter wat u get ur gona wanna make it faster, or at least me anyways

 

Yea, its 90% rider 10% bike. Example: Some kid that races 85s in PA can win in 125 and 250 classes. One time When the 125s left the gate he was just puting on his goggles and he lapped every racer out there . Thats skill

 

damn i would definately call that skill, i bet if that kid sticks with it as he ages he will be on hell of a rider.

 

I just sold my 02 cr125 which was the fastest 125 ive ever riden. But the stock Cr125s are slow as ****. My dad is a mechanic and he found many tricks that make the CR go faster. If you get the bike and are intersested i can sell you a part for a $100 that will make for difference than doing a pipe. Its a powervalve governor that makes a hell of a difference and is a great starting point to make your bike better

 

buy a 250.you will regret it.03cr250. :YEAH
