Hey Legenboy, I have a question for you and any other reader who might be able to give some insight on the matter... I'm looking to upgrade and I have it pretty much narrowed down to a 96' or newer xr250, 2000 kdx200, or a 1999 kx125 and do some trail riding mods (fly wheel weight and larger rear sprocket - maybe a few others). I will be riding in the woods 95% of the time. Right now I've got an old xr play bike and want something I can hone my skills on but still have enough juice to keep me interested in the future. So, in regards to riding a kx125 in the woods, how does it handle on the trails compared to a kdx or xr?
