I put a bit of time on a 2016 125sx recently and was amazed at how good it was, I'm going to jump on the 2 stroke bandwagon and chop in my current bike for a small bore 2 stroke.
I'm just unsure about the on track difference between the 150 and the 125, does the 150 feel like a 125 on steroids or does have it have an entirely different feel?
I've read that some people prefer the 125 over the 150 as it feels more 'organic' (whatever the hell that means) even though it has less horespower.
Cheers.

I have read a lot of info regarding the '17s and how the power on the 125's is a bit smoother and carries longer as opposed to the 150 being more of a light switch and falls off.
I am unable to find much real world experience on the 18' models however as manufacture info would seem to point this has changed a bit but haven't been able to confirm from someone who has tested both in these years.
I have a 2016 KTM 150 and the motor pulls noticeably better than my 2002 KX125 down low and in the mid but I've never ridden the new KTM 125 or Husky so I can't tell you how it compares against those.

This proves that the 150 has the exact same curve than the 125 just a few hp more everywhere. The perfect 2 stroke imo.
Pit Row
hands down for me. Get stuck in too high a gear one fan of clutch on 150, 3 on 125! If you are an average sized human being I would say 150 all the way. The 150 is a 144cc machine, isn’t that what most of the big bores are? Wish the AMA would make 144cc the limit or slightly higher to allow for a re-bore.
