hi im 15 im preety short for my age i weigh 52kg and i was wondering if you think i could handle a 125 i have no motobike experience only a few hours on my friends cr85 which i managed to crash bad i have had a quad for a year but just sold it and i am more into bikes and want to start freestyling!! so whats your thoughts??

 

ok im an idiot how many pounds is 52 kg, if u have no experience a 125 might kick your *** espically if u allready ate it on the 85, i would not get one unless you practice up on the 85 and i still dunoo how big u are so post it

 

Its around 114 lbs... i was riding a cr125 when i was 14ish just have to be careful.. Its a lot of bike for you at your size but i think you can handle it if you be carefull till you get used to it...

 

im like 5'9 125 and a 125 is about right for me, ive been riding for a long time, iguess it would be ok if u really take the time and get used to it

 

do you think may be its better 4 me to get the 85 and then wen i get to big for it or find i need more power buy a 125 or just bore out the 85?

 

Learn to ride something like a CRF150 or something in that area before you jump on a MX bike. Learn some basic skills before you even think about riding freestyle . And I would research a lil into what kinda bike you want cuz the new CR's are junk. Thats just my , and how tall you are has alot too do with an 85 as well

 

boring out a bike isnt something i would reccomend, ive never done it unless you score a cylinder, its not the power that will be a big issue its suspension especially for freestyle

 

im 165lbs 6'2", and 14, im on a 2002 YZ 250, im sure you can handle a CR 125, a bike only goes as fast as you want it to.

 

ive decided **** it ill get a 125 spend a s*** load of time learning how to use it and getting used to it and then ill be the freestyle king and u will all envy my skillz joke! but i think its the best option and now for the next question wat 125 is best

 

all makes are pretty much equal. just go woth yer fav

 

yeah to be honest i like the cr125 and the yz 125 i think ill prob go with cr cus i see that most freestylers use cr i would have deegans west coast customs bike if i was mega rich that bike is amazing

 

that bikes paint is so gay, its a good bike for shure but the paint sucks a big one

 

Yamaha's YZ125 are far Superior to the CR's and KTMS have the strongest motor but the worst suspension. Why not try to be original and do your own thing instead of trying to be someone else?

 

yeah its a yz or a cr still not sure not getting the bike till september but i have time to decided what do u guys think which bike?

 

YZ, cr125s suck.

 

Just playing, All 125s rip, but yamahas rule.

 

what he said

 

Honda has just been taking baby steps in the 2 stroke motor department the last few years will the other steps are as big as bigfoot on stilts.

 

Just a word of advice.. Start with small jumps, get use to the bike, its brakes, throttle, clutch and all. Before you attempt to destroy yourself. Most of these FMX guys have riding since they were about knee high. Its not something you learn over night. You should be fine on a 125, just remember to stay within your limits and always wear your gear.

 

dude get a 250, u cant ride freestyle on a 125, they dont have the power in 2nd gear for it, ull need to be in like 4th, and a 250 u dont need to use the clutch that much,anyone who knows anything will tell u a 125 is harder to ride than a 250, they beat u up more, the only diff riding them, is a 125 is wayyyyyyy lighter in corners, but fmx isnt about cornering, go with a 250,look at rc, hes only 5'6 135lbs and hes haulin *** on a 450
