My son got a new YZ125, up from the YZ80, so we went riding at Barona Oaks (San Diego) on Saturday (got there late), and Lake Elsinore on Sunday.
The cool part was swapping bkes on the last ride Sunday. Ya, I still beat him riding the iddy YZ, but he handled the YZF400 just fine. Never stalled it. Over the jumps, etc.
That was my first ride on a little YZ, and I'm impressed. Ya, total power sucked, and that no power on the low end wasn't fun either (remember, I'm not comaring to other 125's, but to bigger bikes). I did get a chance to ride a YZ250F, courtesy of another list member, but not back to back with the 125.
I felt like I could just throw the bike over a jump, and no matter how it landed I could straighten it out. Well...he, he... I do weigh more than the bike :-)
Great suspension (typical modern day YZ), nothing broke, fun bike. Now I just have to worry about keeping up with JR.
