[QUOTE="speedy1, post: 1385625, member: 108804"] I owned a mint, stock 1996 KDX for 4 years and loved it. Then for some dumb reason I sold it :( Now I'm trying to get back into trail riding and only have $800 to spend. I am not seeing much in that price range and am starting to consider mx bikes as they are plentyful and cheap. Has anyone got any experience riding both a 125 and a KDX that can tell me the difference power wise? I'm not talking 2009 models here... :) more 1995-2000 vintage if possible. Preferrably CR, KX or YZ bikes. I have read that most 125cc bikes have about the same power as a KDX, but it's just higher in the rev range. Would a 125 with a flywheel weight behave similarly to a KDX? More torquey and tractable... better able to climb hills and such, or would it just feel weak? Background: I rode a 94 Rm 125 once on a trail ride and it was just gutless... but I also owned a 1988 CR125 when I was younger and it seemed to have gobs of power. Not sure if my memory is fading... or if the CR just makes more power than the RM. I have ridden a 96 CR250 and it was just too powerful. Also the 5 speed transmission didn't have good gear spacing for the tight woods riding I usually do. I'm hoping a 125 with a flywheel weight, a spark arrestor and a set of bark busters will do the trick, but would really appreciate advice on the subject. Please help! Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
