I had an '01 KX125 previous to this and sold it to a friend, so I still get to see it from time to time. Both bikes have similar mods (Vforce and pipes, otherwise stock). Compared to the '01, the '05 has much better low end and mid but signs off on top. The '01 is just a little more willing to rev but it has NOTHING below 1/2 throttle. The '05 feels a lot like an '04 KTM125sx that I rode recently except not quite as strong. Similar low-mid power, though. The '05 is easier to ride and pulls better out of corners.duke said:NM KDX200, I see that your "125" is a late model KX. How do you find the power, 125 wise?
