a reasonable price for an 02-04 125 would be about $2000-$3000 US dollars, and im assuming a few hundred bucks more for a 250.....
newer honda 125s and 250s are slow...the ktms are really fast but dont have good suspension or handling...the suzuki 125s are really popular around here and i can see why, theyre great bikes...awesome handling, not a lot of power off the bottom, but tons of it mid thru top...i've had mine for about a year now and i love it, i'd recommend it for anyone lookin for a 125
Size wise your fine with the 125, but if you feel confident in your riding abilities there is also no reason for you not to get a 250. As an adult if you plan to race I'd likely get a 250 just to stay out of the 125 Beginner/Junior classes with all the amped up teenagers.
As for the bike an the 03 was a good bike, my son raced one for a season and really liked it. We sold our 03 RM125 basically as stock (took the goodies off) but it did have new graphics, seat cover, plastic, completely new clutch(basket/hub/plates), top end, sprockets and chain. we sold it at the start of the 05 season for $4000. My guess is that price is a bit high for an 03 at this point. Also if they are trying to sell the excel rims as an aftermarket upgrade, the bike came stock with excel rims.
