I would go with a kdx200. Or even a 125 with a flywheel weight.

The kdx is a 200, 220, and even a 250. It is a two stroke trail bike. It has alot of power down low or traction or tourque. A 125 is also a two stroke. The powerband on this bike is more of a kick than a kdx as the kdx is very minimal in kick or hit. 125's are more of an off/on switch when it comes to power. The 125's are cr kx yz rm and sx. Cr being Honda. Great Handling. KX is Kawasaki. It is said to have more low end power than a typical 125. YZ is Yamaha. Very good motor and good power everywhere. Has won many shootouts. RM is a Suzuki. Has great top end power and handling is good. And last but not least, the all mighty KTM sx125. It has the strongest motor so it goes the fastest stock. It is lacking quite a bit in the suspension department. Might want an upgrade. The flywheel is an attachable weight on the front end to reduce the amount of ground coverage your front tire has when you hit the powerband.

so take your pick.

Made me think alittle :bang:
thats alright

Hope it helps

:ride: :whoa: Love that icon :blah:

Probably around 65 to 75. Depends on the road. It is more like 73 to 75 on pavement straight away.

I second a KDX200, KDX220, or Honda XR250. All are really easier to work on and live forever.

Thanks for backing me up 2 strokes. I am going to start riding 2 strokes here in a little while. I am going to go with a 125.
