As long as you take care of any two stroke, the way it's meant to be taken care of. It will give you no problems at all.

They are no harder to maintain than any other 2-stroke. As for being slow...bullcrap. If you like them...get one. You cant go wrong getting any of the main 5...Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha or KTM. All make a geat bike and all have their pros and cons. :ride:

IMO the cons about the cr125 is they are the slowest 125 2 strokes around! and they are expensive to maintain because of breaking. read dirtrider magazine. this is what i hear.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and that includes you. I do read Dirtrider and have never read an article about how they break more than any other bike. I have read that the engine isnt the smoothest(depending on year), but it is still more than competetive. I also read that they have the best suspension for many years running. To be honest, the build quality of Hondas is well known and respected. I have owned many in the past and havent had any problems. Seeing as how you are only about 13 years old...Im sure you mean well, but please understand that many of the people that post here are looking for help and want answers based on fact and experience. Giving inaccurate info could endup costing someone alot of money.

I agree RR. Any bike you buy these days (2-stroke that is) have the same maintanence demands as the others. All have pros and cons. If it is a good deal, buy it. All bikes can be modded to go as fast or as slow as you want it.

I've ridden a 2000. It was a nice bike and pretty fast. Excellent handling and suspension.

I have an 02' cr125 and its easy to maintain, fast, and can do wheelies very easily, i love my bike, but the only thing that I dont like is that it has no low-end power, but thats normal for 125s
