Can't believe 1997 means this bike is now 20 years old. Man... I'm getting old.
I think the 125 alu frame was still better handling/flexible than the 250 but people loved the the last gen steel 125's.
The Shop
I got a brand new 2000 CR125 when they came out, and it was a superior bike in every way, but it didn't make me any faster.
I wish I would have kept that bike, and the 00 for keep sakes. I wish I would have kept all the 2 strokes I ever had, even the 86 CR80... All other bikes since those three have been farters and as I have parted with them, I don't miss them.
I ragged the shit out of a 91 for 3 years. No top ends.
YMMV
Pit Row
The 1996 YZ had more torque than the CR and still had good top-end, so it was easier to ride.
Back in the 1990s, the difference between Honda's build quality and all the others was huge.
Their brakes were dramatically better too.
I races one slick track and won most of the time easily and people would come look at my bike and say that's one fast ass 250. I told them it must really be fast because it's a 125 and they couldn't believe it till they saw my 250 sitting beside it clean as a whistle
The biggest proof of RC being the GOAT is the fact that he won so much on those damn things. He was about the only person in the country riding them !!
