Ok so trying to figure out which route to go for my winter projects.
Getting a 125 and a 250. Looking for pros and cons. All bikes are in good shape. All 125's will be punched out to 134's. So.....
03 cr 125 and 250. Or 07 125 03 250
Any big difeference2 between the 03 or 07 125's
Found an 04 and 05 yz 125 and 250 so is the motor in the 05 125 that much better then the 04???
03 or 05 kx 125 and 05 k250 any pros and cons here. All very close on price.

Never rode Kawi's but always heard that the didn't handle as well as a Honda/Yamaha and not as reliable either.

Some of the best bikes ever made. Had an '04 YZ 125 and absolutely loved that bike.
You won't regret getting those bikes.
And yes, the '05 YZ125 motor is better than the '04 (mostly because of the transmission, however. The '04 is a 5-speed. 2005 went back to a full 6-speed.)
I would still put showas on the CR 125 they came with those KYB 46mm bladder forks 00 - 07. They are decent but not as plush feeling as the showas.
Can't go wrong with an 06 plus YZ's had my 144 n 250 for 11 years.
The good thing about the Yamaha's, you'll always be able to find parts/upgrades for these. The used market is awash with decent parts as well. Personally, I don't like the alloy frames on the YZ's. Much prefer the older steel frames.
The CR's are what I'd go for. Great potential, the last gen frames were good. They can be made into real weapons.
