I rode my friends cr125 with a small dent in the pipe, and i personaly didnt like it at all. It has absolutly no lowend power until its in powerband, and my friends kx-125 is much different. The cr needs alot of clutch to get it going and i dont know if its typical of 2003? Or of cr125s? My friend told me his rm doesnt hesitate at all and it has plenty of accel and then it gets even better in powerband. I ride a crf150 and its not even close to the power and handling i want. So does anyone have any say on that problem? Or are all 2-stroke bikes like that? Because im used to the 4-stroke roll on power.
