[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 638177, member: 16301"] I'm not sure what you mean by "bog down" on the 4 stroke. 4 strokes are more forgiving to ride so they are usually easier to learn to ride on. They do weigh more but they will lug easier on hills where you would need to keep a 2 stroke revved out (you can lug it but you gotta use the clutch more). You can do a lot of mods to make 2 strokes more friendly but all depends on what you want to spend. 4 Strokes are harder to start when they heat up - usually when you are putting around learning but there's techniques to get around that. 2 Strokes will foul plugs easier if you lug them around too much - still not a big deal as long as you pack some spare plugs & don't mind spooge from the pipe (never has bothered me). As far as the 2 stroke being easier to ride in the mountains, that depends on the type of trails plus how the 125 is set up. I know a couple kids that are pretty talented riders and they have trouble getting their 125's (mainly stock) up some of our more technical and steeper hills but they can smoke me in the tight twisties. Like FE_P said, definitely try a few out if at all possible. If you come across a screaming deal and you really want a 125 go for it - it most certainly can be done (learning how to ride on one) but myself, I wouldn't have wanted to start out on a 125. I got frustrated enough learning how to ride on my KLX300 (which I sold BTW Fe-P). :yeehaw: [/QUOTE]
