Uhh.. 250F and 125's are both legal in the lites class.. However, you will almost never see a 125.

"Lites" use to be called the 125 class. When the AMA decided that they would encourage 4-stroke development (good thing) they allowed an advantage of TWICE the displacement for them... I think we all underestimated the technological capabilities of the factories. The 250F's (4-strokes) are way fast, and a huge advantage... but the advantage comes with a big maintainance downside ($.) I myself wish it was still simple and affordable w/ rider skill being the deciding trophy-factor.

The most shocking thing to me was how FAST the 4-strokes took over....... I knew it would happen eventually, especially in the 450 class..... But I figured the 125s would last a couple more years then they did......now it is probably impossible to find one in a main event or pro moto anymore....
