Post in the right forum!! The 2000 is a pretty good bike. A friend of mine has a 99 and a 00, but rides the 99 (because his dad likes the 00). It has pretty good lo end power, but the ergos are a little different. Revalved for a 140 lb rider means that it was set up for somebody who weighs 140 pounds

It will work fine for a 160lb person, the suspension will just be a little soft (easily adjustable). But if you ride on the trails, you might want softer suspension anyway.

You'll love the 125. I just got a chance to ride one not too long ago.. and I cant wait to get my own. They handle ruts so much better.

I'm 15, 5'6 and about 130 lbs with gear on.

My dad rides the same bike. He's about your size(ten pounds lighter), and he loves the bike. The only complaint he has with the bike is the clutch. That year RM 125 is notorious for having funny clutches. They're not really smooth taking off, but once you get going it's fine. If you ride mx you should be fine with the bike. By the way, that bike hauls butt!!!!
