2003 KX125 vs. 2003 Rm125 ??

[GS]

Hi there,
Help please with a decision as to which bike would be better for rec MX-type riding as well as some fast woods riding. I know there is a world of difference, but how do these things handle? Power delivery for relatively inexperienced riders? I know that many of the Suzi/Kawi models are identical, is this an example of that? Thanks for the input!

No, this is not one of the previously shared models. Both bikes are pretty similar as far as power characteristics. There would be so little noticeable difference to an inexperienced rider that I would purchase whichever appeared to be in better shape and saw better maintenance habits. we had an 03 RM125 for my son and it was raced hard for a season with no issues other than a couple of busted clutch plates which is not terribly uncommon on 125's.

I really like my 02 RM - although Eric has my motor right now for a 144 kit. I prefer their handling as well.
