I posted this in the "New Rider Questions" area but looking to get more traffic out here..
So I had to sell my YZ250F to pay for school this semester. I still have enough money to pick up a cheaper late 90s to mid 2000s 125 to squeeze in some riding before winter hits us here. I'm excited to get back on a 2 stroke and plan on keeping the bike..but will likely pick up another 250F in the spring.
Mainly I'm looking for info on what bikes to stay away from. Will mostly be doing some woods riding and some track riding also. There's a lot of YZs in my area (00-04s) for reasonable prices and a couple really clean KX125s (99-02). Thanks for the advice in advance.

...and a CR125. Lo siento.

Never gave me problems. Very stable chassis.

From 1996 and later models, it is hard to beat a YZ if you're buying a used 125. I would look for mechanical condition over choosing a specific model year. If you can find a 2005+, they are almost the perfect bike.
Are u selling your 10crf on cl?
na that's not me on CL, my 450 only has 32hrs on it.. still pretty fresh..
I love Suzukis, growing up working at and riding for a family owned, single-line Suzuki dealer. But, that YZ125 was amazing. My 2000 CR125 that I'm slowly building fell into my lap, otherwise I never would have one as they (00-04) require a lot of changes to be a good package.
Work an extra month (without a bike) if you have to, and comb www.bikefinds.com until you find a good 06-up YZ.
