This could be classified in the MX section as well, but here goes. A friend of mine who is a very fast rider for 50, claims that a 125 is actually a more suitable mount for many 40 plus riders. His reasoning is based on the fact that most todays 125's offer easier to use power bands then those of days long ago. Plus, their lighter weight means less energy expenditure. He races a CR125 nad does well agaisnt even 40 year old riders. What are the opinions of the members? I might return to local senior level racing next year and the thought of racing a 125 is entertaining. I dont have the funds for a YZ250F and the like, so those arent viable solutions. Were I to ride a 125, it would have to be a REAL 125.
