I am currently in the market for a new bike. I have about $2000 since thats what I just sold my kx100 for. Im 16, 6 foot 2 and 210 lbs. I only ride woods. I do want to stick with 2 strokes. I want to get a 250 but Im not sure if I could handle the bike. And Im not sure if I should get a 125 because Im not sure if I will want more power.

So based on this scenario, should I go with a 2 stroke 125 or 2 stroke 250?

at 6 foot 2 and 210 lbs, your better off on a 250.

I'm 6', 160lbs and I ride a 250 two stroke and a 450 four stroke.

You want a 250, you can smooth out the power and hit on them if you feel it's to much.

250, and if it is too much then add a flywheel weight to it.

Definitely a 250 is what I was thinking. 125 I don't think would be enough power that you would want. 250 2 strokes are the best bikes out there.

If you want it to be legit, take your time and don't plan on finishing it for 2-3 months. I've got a 2000 CR that I've been working on since Jan 1. It started out as the biggest POS I've ever touched but after many hours of rebuilding, reshaping, sanding, polishing and deciding where to best spent money it's starting to make me proud of the end result. I wish I'd taken more pics as the ones I have don't do it justice in the beginning or end. Parts that have been fixed or replaced include,
Exhaust
Entire brake systems including rear pedal
ALL bearings
Tires
Rear wheel
Front wheel
Suspension-both ends
Throttle housing
All Cables
Kick starter
