So....after recieving a really bummer of a call yesterday , that my 2017 TC 250 wasn't going to be in until probably mid April....I was stuck at a cross roads. I had already made up my mind on buying a 250 and a 125....I just wanted the 250 first. Well....I couldn't get that as of right now , so I bought the last 17' TC 125 Motosports had today. I talked to the guys there and I'll be giving them a visit come around July sometime , and making a deposit on a new 2018 TC 250...and I'll get the very first one out the door! Got my old 06' RM that will do me just fine until then.....and getting this new 125 first , I think will give me some time to adjust to the way the Husky's feel. And by August or whatever month when that 2018 TC 250 comes in.....it should feel pretty natural.
Also....a very good buddy of mine Barron ( you know him on here as BVM111 ) bought my 16' KX450F! Another buddy of mine who is racing in AZ this weekend , brought it down for Barron to pick up , and the timing was perfect. We literally both got our bikes today within a few hours of each other. I not only feel honored in breaking his virginity on the 450's....but on 4 strokes! He's never owned one , and I don't think that bike could have gone to a better dude , whom I know will appreciate and ride the shit out of that thing!
And Barron....I know you'll fall in love with that Kawi , and I'm super stoked that you ended up getting it! I expect a full ride report on that thing!
Some of my pics from a few hours ago....
Another couple of really cool things that came with this 125 is a stock hour meter....way cool! A badass little brief case for the manual , a bunch of needles and jets. I also picked up a HD pro taper chain and a couple extra twin air , air filters.

So this is a new adventure for me as a Vet rider and dont worry my 2006 KX250 will keep the 450 company in the garage when I get home.
Nice coupla scoots there mate.
Missed a fine day today if you haven't gone back to Vegas already stop in on your way home tomorrow and spin a few laps on the new 450. You have to go right past the track to get home ya know Ha!
The Shop
I for sure want to come check out your track soon though now that i have the 450, hopfully you keep getting some weather to keep the track conditions good!
Nice looking KTM.... when did you pick it up?
Congrats on the new tiddler.
I ripped up and down my parents street like i did when i was 15 today, since Jeff already broke it in for me!!!
The neighbors were not happy with me at all.... just like 30 years ago!
450 hanging out where my last freshy sat 17 years ago... i miss my 2000 KX250
If he doesnt put a sweet cone pipe on it like his RM he isn't doing it any justice thats for sure!!!!
Honestly...I want the little sucker to rip , but the most important thing is to get it running right " for me " and how I want to ride it. I'd love to stick another Scalvini on there , but we'll have to see what will work with the motor.
I still can't beleive I own a 125. Haven't owned one since 1988....so 29 freakin' years! Going to be fun as hell re-learning these things.

Let us know how they compare to each other.
Jeffro ,did you get your air pump for forks?, should be included.
Congrats!
Either way great choice of bike. You'll love it.
