Anyone on here have one?
How do you like?
Does it lug fairly well?
How does it handle MX track?
How is it in the single track and woods?
I mostly ride in the woods of PA but hit the tracks once in a blue moon. I found a great deal on one and am very interested. I know it will be more work to ride then say a 250/300 but I think it could be a good stepping stone into bigger bikes.
Thanks

Then I realized their new 2 stroke goes by the same name.

How did you son feel the bottom end was? Did he get to ride on on some single track?
My biggest concern is the bottom end and the lugging ability of it.
Anyone else using a 125 as woods bike? How did you like it?
The 125 RR is the 2-stroke which is new for '18. The 125 RR-S (street) is the 4 stroke which has been around a few years as a beginner/woman's bike.

The 125 RR is supposed to have great low end (for a 125). The 250 RR is listed at the same price $7999, but if you can get a deal on dealer stock, and depending on what you are looking for...The 2t '19's are arriving this month, except the 200 which is slated for Nov. The RR-S 4t's arrive in Sept. It's a damn shame, but the Race Editions don't become available until early next year, and the '18's are sold out at the warehouse, as are the Dual Sport RR-S's. Some dealers still have stock.
For me, this is my first year riding enduro. I started the season off on my CR 250. Long story short, multiple injuries to my right hand/ arm, I really struggled holding on. The vibrations from the big 250, along with twinwalls, soft renthal single compound grips for 4 hours of racing were destroying my hands!
My brother wanted to do his first enduro race (he has a YZ 125), so I got my YZ 125 out to make it an even battle and I've ridden the YZ the last two races! I love the 125 so much. So nippy for the tight wooded sections and no issues on the big climbs!
I also really recommend the TAG Rebound grips - tough to say being a loyal Renthal guy, but those grips really have saved me/ allowed me to ride.
Love to know how you find the Beta!
Are you at sea level? I live in PA so we ridefrom around 200' up to about 1500' I'm guessing never really looked it up. What jets did you put in it?
What part of Canada are you from? I'm originally from Windsor ON
