[QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 711733, member: 32023"] :worship: Michelle ... Great finds! Regarding power, the power of my 125 Penton was strong and smooth and the 200MXC is similar but (of course) larger. The Penton had a very smooth power band with very little apparent hit, the power band of the 200 has a definite sweet spot, but the throttle is not a light switch, like so many modern 125 MX weapons. I had a YZ125 for a year and although I could raise the front end any time I wanted, I could also scare myself silly with it in the woods, never mind that is ate spark plugs like I eat chips. It was not made for the woods. The biggest difference between ‘70 era bikes and those of the ‘90's and on is the dramatic increase in suspension travel, almost to the point that the bikes are difficult to handle because of their seat height. I am considering adding a fly wheel weight to my 200 as one last mod towards improving the low end grunt, not that it really needs it. I can ride the bike up virtually any hill and not worry a bit about making it. The low speed tractability is beyond compare in my book. Couple that with the 125 frame specs and you have an all around great bike without the weight of a larger machine. [/QUOTE]
