yz125 5-speed vs. 6-speed, your thoughts

[yz250flash]

I had an '01 yz125 that had a 6-speed and I had it geared with a 13/52 combo for the woods. I really liked it. My bike was stolen long ago but I now am looking to get another. I have found an '04 but they changed to a 5-speed in '02 through '04. My question is...will I be satisfied with the 5-speed. With the 125 you have to keep it in the revs and the 6-spd really helped with that. Just don't know if I should look for an '05 or if it is that big of a deal. Looking for advice from someone that has ridden both since I haven't.

any help is appreciated.

I have a 98 cr 125 with a five speed, all your gears are taller requires less shifting. I love it, its easier to keep on the pipe to me, and I can hold gears longer coming out of corners.
