[QUOTE="_JOE_, post: 1397792, member: 77507"] A 150lb kid can hillclimb a 125 just fine. All you need is enough of a run to get it on the pipe and it'll go anywhere. Now put a 190 or 200lb guy on it and you'll have a problem. I rode a RM 125 for about 4 years in high school. I was about the same size as lippy8. It never seemed to bog too bad and pulled hard in the midrange. It worked fine in the trails as long I kept my speed up, it was hard to keep up sometimes as I couldn't really touch the ground. We have some pretty wild steep hillclimbs around here that can be a hundred or more feet up. That little 125 would scream right up any of them. Obviously a good rear tire essential to a successful climb but powerwise I think 125 would be fine. The fun factor out in a feild is like 100 times better than a trail bike too. So I say if your trails are fairly open and you ride pretty hard a 125 works fine. Sure an XR200 would be easier to ride, more appropriately sized and much less maintenance but as soon as you start to ride hard you realize it's limits. It's a compromize, like just about everything else in life. I'm sure you'll love which ever bike you buy, which can be seen by all the people that recommend everyone buy the same bike they have, lol. Just keep in mind a race bike requires a much higher budget to keep running. [/QUOTE]
