I would choose the rmz based on just the picture. It looks the most well maintained and the cleanliness of everything in the background is a plus. The 150 looks hammered as does the husky. The yz looks ok. Any bike with new plastics for sale screams lipstick on a pig. JMO.

I’d go with the YZ as long as it was done with good parts and maybe knock a couple bucks off, if it doesn’t pan out get the newest Austrian bike you can find, the 16+ motors are really strong. Don’t be so scared of the 4cs, both of my bikes have them and I rode them for over two years, never knew they were “the worst fork” ever made until I read about them on Internet forums. Most people who complain about suspension probably don’t even know how to set sag so always take it with a grain of...

Those are all very cheap prices, not that I dont occasionally see running 125s around $2000 but those generally need lots of little things before they are track ready. That said, its hard to go wrong with a YZ125.

Go with theYZ and make sure the shift stopper lever is updated

Sometimes you buy a blown up bike cheap enough with the sole purpose of rebuilding it to sell on. Not uncommon for a fresh rebuild to have zero hours. Ask for copies of the receipt or pictures of the rebuild for proof.

I did the same thing recently, rebuilt my YZ, put an hour of riding on it, and sold it since I wanted a 250F again. Just because it was recently rebuilt doesn’t mean there’s an issue with it.

I’m gonna go YZ

I don’t know. I’ve completely rebuilt top and bottom ends in some of my 2-strokes in the past, put a heat cycle or two in them and then sell. It’s not always a red flag. Sometimes you’re rebuilding it for your own peace of mind and then decide you want a change. I only use oem parts, especially in the bottom end. Now if they say fully rebuilt with hot rods kit, or some other cheap aftermarket parts, I tend to lean away towards those.

I agree with Richy on the rebuilding part. Have an 04 RM125 I built last winter just for fun. Put WAY more money in it that I should have building it. I did ride it a couple times though, now just sits since I have a 150SX. I need to sell the RM this spring, but will be hard losing money on the deal.

Personal opinion on that, often because the work is so cheap and simple on two strokes but you know people will ask anyway, so you do it so that: A . You can sell it knowing it won't come back on you or stitch anyone up B. Knowing you're selling a decent bike and can stick to what you want for it. Most of us are buying and selling because we just want something new or different, not because it's needed. I agree bodgers and idiots, or straight up scammers or unscrupulous people, can muddy this up and make people...
