Oh, okay. Thanks

I did, however, notice that the UK site still offers them. Maybe it is a 2-stroke related issue?

Past inequities in the AMA rules that allowed 250 Four Strokes to compete against 125 2 strokes essentially rendered them obsolete. They have since changed the rules but much too late to have any chance of saving the 125.

The money gained from the sales of these models does not compensate for the money spent making them available for sale. Don't forget the cr125, it's gone too.

two strokes emissions are horrible, and bills have been passed against them. All makes stopped producing them and focused on 4 strokes

Ummm no....
They are closed course competition bikes that do not have to meet any noise or emissions requirements.

'09 YZ125


I believe this is an '08, but they look exactly alike..thegraphics are different. For '09 KTM is also make a 150SX, replaced the 144 they had for a year or two.
