KC,
I respectfully would have to say you are dead wrong.I know because I
use a 2000 CR125r for trail riding only.They don't have to be "lugged" around
if you know how to ride them properly.I sold a 2000 KDX 220 to get
the CR,and while the KDX is a great trial bike,I will say that the CR is much
more fun to ride.It does involve a little more clutch work,but if kept in the
power band properly,a CR125r will make quick work out of a KDX.The CR
is alot lighter,handles alot better,and has about the same amount of horsepower.Obviously the KDX has more torque.A quick sprocket change fixes the bogging down problem in 2nd gear.And a rear pipe helps also.
I ride with 300's,200's,250's and have no problem keeping up whatsoever.
You have to know how to ride a 125 to make it fun in the trails.
