Has anyone made this transition and been satisfied? Iam coming off a 2016 350sxf and i love the bike but i want something different. I grew up on two strokes and just sold my 03 RM250 which i loved, so iam no stranger. Its between the 250sx or wait for the 2019 350.
way more fun to ride, much more flickable, much lighter and my corner speed has gone up dramatically.
I miss the 350 at a place like southwick (long straights, deep sand), other than that Im glad i made the switch.
The Shop
I found a nice used 16 KTM 125SX for sale and bought it. Had to drive 4 hrs to get it. Not many used 125's out there.
Anyway, the last 2 times I went out for open practice at my local track I rode my 125 and had an absolute blast.
Never even started my 450.
That said, I wouldn't want a 125 for my only bike.
It was a lot of fun, and I felt like I was going fast. But I don't really think I was. lol
Although I did feel more in control. Being only 155 lbs, sometimes my fo fiddy is a handful. Especially when I get tired.
Or then a again, it could be my lack of skill/talent. Lol
Pit Row
and to the original poster.... I really love my bike, its definitely over 200 hours and I have yet to replace the piston or any engine/tranny/clutch related parts lol
Im a Nov B xc/enduro rider so its a bit different than being a good MX rider and the constant high rpm thats involved. Only things that have broke on the bike has been my fault. Only thing that I can say is the bike definitely keeps me on my toes with watching what bolts are vibrating off of it lol loctite is your friend
