I'm curious about getting a 125. Probably a Yamaha YZ or a Honda CR, since I like the aluminum frames.
Anyway, I'm pondering a 125 because I've lost 50 lbs. and am down from 230 lbs. to below 180 and still falling. Based on that, and that I don't mind learning to ride on the pipe, would the 125cc 2-stroke be a good fit for trail, field, and maybe eventually MX riding? Is a 125 my best bet, or is the wider powerband of a 250 still appealing despite my lighter load?
Also, what's the concensus on the best brand(s) of 2-stroke, specifically the aluminum framed variety?
-Cheers
