[QUOTE="MXP1MP, post: 25395, member: 20581"] I wouldn't believe that from a dirt rag, I'm 5'5 135 with my gear I bet the suspension would rock for me right from the start. I heard the qwick fix to make the fork better is to get rid of 5 wt and put in 10. The lack of suspension on the bike the motor would make up easy. I kinda think of it as like the old skewl CR's of the early 90's. But of course it isn't as bad. Once you dail in the bikes suspension the whole overall handling of the bike comes in line and the bike gets much better. Get the suspension revaled and its way better, stiffening the springs helps too. I personally don't own a ktm, I just know a guy who owns an '00 model. Ya I got to ride it a bit over MX style stuff. I love the motor it's the best 125 motor I've ever ridden. Handling is good I say it falls in line with a yamaha, still won't out turn a suzook or honda as easy but it can be done with alittle effort. The brakes are great and only get better once you start tweaking them out that and they look kewl. I know the '01's are much better than the '00's. I would hold onto your bike for alittle longer and wait for the '02's to come out. I like my '01 CR125 alot its a great bike, but it's motor isn't in the same league as the ktm's. The only other weak link with a ktm is I heard they subframes arn't the strongest in the world i guess they are prone to cracking around the welds, but this is rare. Try and get a chance to try out at least an '00 that is setup good you'll be surprized, just remember the suspension is influenced by all of that power. [/QUOTE]
