World Karting Association karts tend to be Hondas and to a lesser extent, Yamahas according to my father in law who races the east coast series in 125 shifter karts. Kawi and Suzuki are rarely used.
He's using a 98 CR125 motor worked over by Boyesen.
He won the season championship the last full season he raced (now he's on a part time schedule).
If you're serious about racing, aren't you going to have the motor completely worked over? If so, then does it really matter which one you buy?
First, I am not new to racing, just the 125. second, yes we are serious about racing. third, yes I will rework the engine, but I would rather start with the better engine of the ones out there. There are just about every make running around here. I posted in this section because it would be best because of all the experience of the cycle riders as they have been around the 125s for years.
Thanks for all the good replies, it sounds that the Honda and Yami is the better of the bunch, that is what is the strongest round here. It is obvious that the CR is the most common but the Yami sounds good to me, kinda like to be not so common!
Again thanks for the good replies!
