I need help choosing which bike to get SX 125 or KX 125 ... I plan on buying a slightly used one this summer. I will mostly ride on flat land and maybe the occasional jumps when we build them ...So i cant really decide, I did research and found out that KTM had the best motor but had bad suspension... Then i heard KX had an OK motor and good suspension ...

6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
yes i am mechnically inclined, i fix other bikes regularly
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
I like 2 stroke becuase of the throttle response, As to preference of bike.....depending on the CC kawasaki or KTM
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
No i do not have a dealer near my home
9) How much do you plan to spend on a bike?

What about a YZ? You're tall and the YZ 125 is the tallest of the 125s... just something to consider.

I bought a 1999 KX 125 for $1200, I am 6' and 200lb, and it fits good and has enough power to through me back. I have heard that for a good all around bike Kawi, makes a pretty decent bike with out any upgrades. It is all a personal preferance , to you have to sit on the bikes and see how they really feel to you, but for a tall guy a taller bike may be in order.(YZ)

buy a 2 stroke kx 250
I think that may be just a little to much power for me at this point in the game. Plus all my friends are getting 125's so
