Hey guys, I know tons of you are rebuilding or have rebuilt a 125.
What do you think is the best older 125, engine, handeling?
Or is it better to just put the whole rebuild budget into a newer bike?
I guess my questions is, do the old 2005ish bikes handel like crap? Or is there an older bike that would still ride well with today's standards?
Thanks in advance!

I would go yz125, great bike and lots of parts.
It all depends on what your budget is. I recently rode a 2016 KTM 150sx and there is just no comparison. 10+ years of development are very obvious when riding my Kawi 125 back to back with the new 150

I owned a 2001 eric gorr yz144 and it was one of my favorite bikes.
Currently have a 2006 and a 2001 Model year YZ125
cant tell a significant difference between both handle and ride nice.

IF you're serious about having a 125 to the level of what you would be happy with (I'm thinking of your van quality here) just spend the 6 grand on a new KTM.... you will be sooooo much further ahead.
Here is my 2002 CR125..... it's for sale in MI if you want a cheap starting point.
