[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 84271, member: 22283"] Kali,He's 15 ! I see no "squid-like tendencies" here. I would think a squid would be scared to death of a bike like that. He apparently is not. I realize your friend made a very good choice by learning on a xr200...and that would be a perfect bike, imho, for this young man(cheaper too)...but you gotta realize girls are much smarter than us guys!:p When I was just a bit older than him, I traded a 1964 Ford Galaxy 500 with a 289 hipo for a Kaw 100 Trail king(anyone remember those?)...good trade? At the time it was an excellant trade and I had the time of my life on that lil knobby tired sucker. Of course now with experience and wisdom (or a reasonable fact simile), I know I should have kept that car which is now a classic ride. I say, "You go dewd!" and have fun on your lil beast. Besides it's the best out-of-the-box 125 money can buy.:D Oh and btw...I'm not sure the big tank will bolt up to the bike??? And I'd stay with the stock 13 on front and go to a 52 on back. That will give you a 4:1 ratio and works quite nicely on tighter stuff. I like Sidewinder chains and sprockets, but that's me. Follow the mfg. specs on how to tighten the chain and make sure you aren't too tight. Be nice to it for a few days, it needs to be broken in right. I took a tourque wrench to the bike when I first got it and almost every bolt I tried was spot-on. KTM is a quality machine,take care of her. A good rider not only learns to ride, he learns to mechanic as well. I suggest Eric Gorrs book! Have fun and be safe! [/QUOTE]
