which 125!?? used 125? where to look?
hey. im still new to these forums but im in the process of buying a new bike. currently, i am riding a crf230f. its an alright bike to toy around on in the woods but the "toying" around that i am doing with it is more like full blown abuse. anyway, im looking to upgrade to a full blown mx bike. at first i was leaning towards a four stroke, but since my brother has a kawasaki kx65 (he loves it) and 2 strokes can be had for a lot less $$$ than 4 strokes right now, i am strongly considering a 125 2 stroke (to maybe upgrade to a 144 or 165 w. modifications over time). my questions are these:
what make (honda, kawasaki, yamaha, suzuki, ktm) makes the "best" (sorry for such a generic term) all around 2 stroke? our family owns 2 hondas (both 4strokes) and the kawasaki. if possible, that is if it makes sense, we'd like to get another honda or kawasaki - CR125R or KX125. anybody feel differently?
also, since bikes are so expensive new, and because they quickly become "used" after about 5 min. anyway, does looking into getting a used bike make sense? if so, im looking for something between a 2005 and 2007/08 model year (the '07s are virtually "new" anyway) ???
lastly, if the answer to the preceding question is yes, where would be a good place to look for a used bike? (right now our local dealer doesn't have anything and picking something up at the local mx track is hit or miss). are there other places similar to **** to find sellers in your prospective area?
THANKS SOOOOO MUCH FOR ANY AND ALL RESPONSES! to get a new bike, my dad says that im going to have to find the right one, at the right price, and "sell" the idea to him. THANKS AGAIN!!!
