Whats the best 125 2 stroke in your opinion and why?
The Shop
Anyone that thinks any of the japanese 125 comes close to the austrian bikes needs a major rethink on rational thinking lol
Me personally, I am building a 2004 RM125. 144BB, micro polished transmission, etc. etc. I can't wait for this thing to be done. I have always loved the RM even stock.
The AER's can be made to work very well , is all I wanted to say.
Pit Row
Motor is the as-quick-as/if not quicker than my mod Husky, chassis is incredible, comes with KYB forks as in the yams (arguably as good as it gets in the sus department), Brembo brakes, lightweight billet clamps/hubs/brake pedal etc, hydraulic clutch.
Probably not the answer you were searching for but it really is the best 125 I've ever ridden and I've owned/raced most them all.
I see mostly KTM 125s racing so I’d have to think there’s a reason behind it. It’s all subject though tbh
Personally, I'm planning on building an '04-'06 KTM125 in the near future.
I have to say that I do love the 01+ RM125s but I did have some reliability issues with them, compared to my YZs.
Having ridden most, the ktm/husky is easily the best out of the box. That said, I'd love to try a TM but can't comment on them.
