I regret selling my CR250 just because it was dependable compared to my 450 that runs when it wants to.

Nice throwback bike, I have one too!

There is still time. Get a 125. They're a blast. I picked this one up for $550 and all it needed was a carb rebuild, but then I lost control, blacked out, and it ended up being a pretty expensive fun project.

Here's Mine, Just picked up DEP pipe and I love the power delivery.

Her hobbies include antagonizing fourstrokes, confusing millennials and bathing her bare parts in WD40.

I really like those '99 SX125's. The forks were real good, motor was killer.

Love my 95 CR125. Going to keep making it continually better. Just put a hgs pipe on it with a PC silencer. Have a friend thats holding an ohlins shock for me and after that i have a whole front end off a 04 crf250 with brake master and caliper. Motor is very potent. Not as good as my 16 TC125 but damn close.

My 2006 YZ125 the day we brought it home in 2012. I don't have a picture of her right now, but she looks just about the same, minus the mudguards and different bars. I'll get a better picture tonight, but god I love 125s. Keep this thread going!

My 16 husky tc125 and my 12 ktm 150sx. The new 125 would blow the doors off my 12 150sx. Testament to how good the new motor really is.

01 CR125 that we restored from the ground up. That motor is a turd hahaha. It did handle great, had great suspension, ergos, brakes and typical superb honda build quality but the motor was soooo slow. Ported polished head milled and taper bored carb PC pipe and silencer and was still slow. 03 KX125 i bought for 400 bucks blown up that was totally stock minus the PC pipe and silencer. Loved that bike. That motor was incredible and it handled like it was on rails. Definitely my pick if i had to find a used 125 to rebuild. This thread is awesome already

I remember my first full size bike. Came back from school one day and opened up the garage door and sitting there were 2 brand new 2004 YZ 125. One for my brother and one for me. I absolutely loved that bike.

Have you ever ridden it or is this something you recently picked up with plans to ride it later? If you haven't you'll love that bike.

Thanks Frodad! He is definitely one of the guys, and loves "wrenching" in the man cave.

@"HarryBackmon" yeah Bro armpump city!

@Maverick, this bike used to be my brother inlaws, I have ridden it, and it was fun. I used to have a 99 YZ125 also.

my cousin and my father both do powdercoating very well, and my gears on how crazy I want to go with this bike are spinning!
