[QUOTE="Porstala F9, post: 704350, member: 44905"] Hey guys, I made a thread earlier about my christmas present. I was going to get a KX 100 for christmas, but I am now having second thoughts. I am 15 years old, and around 5'7 or so and 115-120 lbs. I have an XR 80 now, which I have extremely outgrown to the point where after coming off someone elses 2-stroke, I refuse to ride it! I have been having some second thoughts, and my father is also encouraging me to go 125cc instead for the same reason as the XR 80 i just got, and outgrew rather quickly. So I want to avoid this happening with my KX-100. So I need help deciding, and need some encouragment and confidence to get a 125. If there is one thing I do NOT have a prob with, it would be size. I actually prefer to ride a smaller bike than a bigger bike in size, since I love to man handle it. I am a fairly good rider, who does not want to be limited to a bike in which wants to be ridden the top end out of the whole time, but also I like to ride agressivly and really handle the bike. So I think that this elminiates the YZ 125 right off the bat for a few reasons. 1) Its very big (39 inch seat height) + 2) It is a top end machine from what I have heard. So I am looking into a KX or RM 125 now from where I stand, since I really want a bike with tons of low end power, and I think I will elmiminate the RM 125 beacuse from a recent thread, I found out that the spark plugs for it run 25$!! YIKES! I love a smooth powerband that is easy to work with and control, so would a KX 125 really be a good choice? I will be buying either used or find a left over 2003 which I have found for 3350$ - Good price? With my weight and height factor, would I have any trouble handling this bike, and jumping this bike? Would this be the right bike for me if I am looking for the most low end power? Also, is there any way that I can easily LOWER the bikes seat height in any way easily? Or do I have to go into a large ordeal? And does anyone know the seat height on the 2003 KX 125? And will I have trouble fouling plugs if I don't ride it extremely agressibly, and have to do a lot of jetting work because I have not the slightest clue on how to! Thanks in advance guys!! [/QUOTE]
