My 99 yz125 is very competetive. At "c" level, very few use all of the horse power anyway. The biggest issue is what kind of shape it is in. Check the bearings, they will probably all be ready to be replaced (swing arm, steering stem and wheel), but that isn't that big of a job. I finally had to redue the lower end on mine this spring, and I always keep the top end fresh. 1300 sound like a good deal though. And MX rocks!! Your gonna love it :flame:
