+1 on that. I'd rather be on a 125 than my 450X in that type of terrain. Tires you out far less over the course of a ride, and I didn't see any spots there where you needed 450 type horsepower.BAMX wrote: I would rather ride my 125 through that than try to wrestle a 450 through all of that tight stuff.

I race a 91 RM250 in harescrambles...it handles like a semi. Ran a 125 one race...like riding a bicycle. Handles so lightly you think about changing direction and it's done before the thought completesBAMX wrote: I would rather ride my 125 through that than try to wrestle a 450 through all of that tight stuff.

Photo was taken at Woodland WA 2008. Bike came from Rik Ballet in Belgium. Rik built it and we did some trading and I ended up with the bike

Awesome looking bike for sure....reminds me of the 1997 John Penton Anniversary 200 KTM. I happen to have one that has never been started. It's been difficult not ride it...... but it still 100% Brand NewFreshTopEnd wrote: 2013 Kt . . . . err . . . Husaberg 125

Stiffer springs is a must for Enduro type riding. You can usually put 250 springs from the same year bike. You do loose a little feel but it saves some cash and wrenching.

It was a 3 man team race. At 17min mark there is a hill that gave many people trouble, but the 125 didnt even notice it

Actually i have a worn out Dunlop summertire that has been studded afterwards in the back and a very worn front tire aswell. Because the race is in early winter the ground isnt frozen very deep and there are lots of rocks and roots so I didnt want to ruin my good winter tires.pecu_83 wrote: I raced offroad last weekend with my 125.

I'm sorry about the camera work, it bums me out too. The camera is a gopro hd, but it is setup too high, because our pace and the terrain was so slow I didnt have to put my head down as much as I usually do. And the unstable thing, thats just "too stiff for offroad" motocross suspension in -12`C bouncing of the rocks!! :D The bike was just all over the place..TerryK wrote: Very cool, you Fins are hard core! lol We are lucky to get 10 riders out once winter sets in.

Btw, what kind of camera were you using? It was kind of hard to watch because it was such an unstable image.

I was riding a 93 kdx 200 for offroad until recently..it works really well but i had a hard time going between my moto bike and that with the dated ergos..TeamGreen wrote: Cut my teeth off-road on KX125s & KDX200-220s...
The smaller bore bikes are the easiest to rail off-road.
Currently we're developing a CRF250X/R for Baja. So far it seems to be like the 125/200 bikes; but, with a A LOT MORE Torque & waaaaaaaaaay better mileage (that's kinda important in Baja).

A 200 is completely different from a 125. I'd say it's closer to a 250.Utrider wrote: Very cool, I ride a KTM 200 off road and love to find terrain like that.
