I was an early 350 buyer bought a 2011 and still have it now. Great bike. My son also as a Husky 125 that we have put a 150 kit in. Is the 150 fun yeah it sure is as long as I'm riding it with other old dudes also on 150s. Would I want it to be my only bike and not have my 350? Not ever in a million years. The 125 is fun to ride at times but I'd still rather ride my 350 a majority of the time.

I own YZ125, YZ250, KX500 and a 350F... Some friends have the KTM branded two strokes (carb and EFI years) so I've ridden them all. I still love to jump on my YZ125 and ride it hard, even now that I'm in my mid 40s. If you're racing vet or age classes, the 350F is the best bike you can be on and compared to a 450F it feels so much more nimble. The 1997 / 1998 KX250 is a great bike. Keep that thing for sure. I upgraded my 350F to a XPR tuned Vortex ECU and I was...

I've owned both. I enjoy 125's but there are certain tracks and conditions where they are not as fun. When I ride a 125 I want to be able to ring it out and hold it wide. Also at times it is just frustrating not being able to do the same things I can do on a 350 with ease. If I could only pick one it would be the 350 for it's overall versatility. It's easy to ride and performs well in the woods and on the track.

I went from a 150 to a 350 and wish I would've done it way sooner. The 150 is just a smaller bike and you feel every bump and rock possible. I just felt like I was getting beat up on that bike (yes I had my suspension set to me, sag set all that) and jumped on the 350 and instantly felt like the bike handled better and of course way more power (controllable). The little 2 stroke is fun once in a while and they're cool, but I choose the 350 every time.

Longtime 350 rider. Hopped on my sons 125 to spin a few laps earlier this year. I know a lot of people say about the fun factor of a 125 but for me it wasn’t very fun 😂. Once you go 350 (which is a night and day jump from your 125) I doubt you’ll go back. With your size the 350 will be more enjoyable to ride I think. It’ll take some getting used to the power difference but coming off your bike that’s unforgiving of mistakes you should rip on the 350. Good luck! The 22 was an...

I have a 150 and a 350. Both bikes are super fun but if you are looking at going faster while using half the effort it would be a great switch to the 350. Each bike will put a smile on your face just in different ways! Get the 350 then buy yourself an old yz125 project bike for when you get the two stroke itch.

This is going to come down to personal preference, obviously. That being said, I have always been in the camp that thinks a 125 is probably not the best choice as a primary bike, but the absolute best choice as a secondary bike. I always keep one in the fleet and probably always will. But the few times that I have ran one primarily, as an adult, I usually ended up switching to something else. I think a 350 would be a good choice. The 22 is the prior gen which is a good bike, so I would make sure...

I ride a 125 and look forward to buying a 350. Tired of getting roosted by goons on faster bikes. I try to stay on the pipe but 4 strokes are like cheater bikes in comparison. Rode 2 diff 350’s a Husqy and a KTM and they both had great mid to top power which would be an easy transition for any 125 rider, and ultimately way more power. They just pull for days without signing off. I would sell my 125 but it’s an 01 CR125R and I won’t get enough back for it to feel good about selling...

Adding another bike to the fleet isn't in the cards right now.. Thinking about getting the 350 then I'll have my KX 250 if I want to ride a two stroke.

The 350 hands down but if you still want a 2stoke don't sleep on the 250sx and 300sx

Try the 350, can always get another 125. The 350 has always intrigued me.

Thats the way I am leaning.. I actually have a 98' KX 250 that I rebuilt last winter. Have no reason to sell it and would lose money if I tried. So I'll have a two stroke in the fleet.

Hey guys, I currently have a 23 ktm 125 with all the bells and whistles, VHM Head & Piston, Bills pipe, remapped ecu. The bike is a blast in the right track conditions but lots of the tracks around me are either hardpack most of the time or sand and I find myself wishing I had some more grunt which...
