[QUOTE="NM_KDX200, post: 1227096, member: 38052"] 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. Where the '05 gets all over the '01 is in handling. The '01 has PR2 suspension and the '05 is stock and even so, the '05 is much better. Everyone who's ridden them back to back comments on how much more forgiving the '05 is. Overall, I think a late YZ125 would be a better bike, and I would probably be riding one except that, a) at 5' 6", Kawi's ergonomics just fit me a little better, and b) I got a good price on the '05 KX125. Since it's a play bike and something for me to remember what WOT is like (my other bike being a YZ450F), I don't mind the short comings of KX vs. a YZ. [/QUOTE]
