[QUOTE="TexKDX, post: 98332, member: 16276"] The OBVIOUS reason for NOT getting a 125 EXC is simple - avoid the whole KTM125/KTM200 debate!! ;) KTM has not been synonymous with 125s here in the states, whereas 125s and the Jap 4 are, up until now when some pesky South African started lighting things up lately on an orange 125. Yea I know Wattsy did some magic on one but he could win a GNCC on Rich's Hodaka, so he does not count. For some reason the 125EXC just does not come to mind as a woods/MX crossover bike. My reasoning, as possibly flawed as it is as I have not been thru the exercise, is that the Jap 125 MXers are lighter and nimbler than the 125/200 EXC platform. This is at this point a perception, one driven into me by the big buck race trailers and million dollar riders I suspect. My bias is towards the YZ in the woods. I have also heard great things about them from riders who campaigned them in the woods. The '99 SERA overall champ was on a ported YZ125 and spoke well of it. The 167s are awesome from the accounts about them I've heard too. Maybe the "right bike" is an '01 125SX. Go back a year or two though, and is the SX still such a hot bike? The YZ has been consistently hot it seems. Best motor of the Jap 125s, great suspension and ergos. << Senseless rambling mode OFF >> [/QUOTE]
