Message: [QUOTE="headshot347, post: 1215042, member: 73005"] i've rode all those 125's except for the KTM's. personaly i'm a kawi guy. i have an 03 KX 85, 02 KX 125, and an 98 KX 250. IMO the Honda's have really good parts and the engine's in those last for a long while. but i have heard complaints about the bikes being a little to skinny making it harder to grip with your legs. Kawasaki's don't have much lowend power like you've heard, but are usually faster bikes on the straight away's because of the extra 6th gear. the bikes are like tanks. and they hold up well. Yamaha's have alot of low end torque and will get out the gate and corner's fast. but they tend to top out a little early Suzuki's are a little bit cheaper than the others, and get on the throttle quick. they are about average performance wise. they aren't the fastest out the gate yet not the slowest. and they aren't the slowest in the straights. becasue the bike you buy will probably be stock most of these performance issue's that you might find can be changed by different gearing, teeth on sprocket, suspension, ect. for example you could change the gearing on a yz and make it not only fast out the gates but fast on the straights as well. remember all of this is IMO and from what i've heard from friends and personal experiance with these bikes. Since you live next to most of these dealers, parts shouldn't be a problem to you, so buy what you feel best on and can get the cheapest. hope some of this helped you [/QUOTE]
