Tell me the 125s have a lot more power than those chinese bikes i see all over youtube..if i had to ride something with that little torque i would light the bike and myself on fire

2004 Honda CRF-150. Good condition. $800.00

Is something like that worth it??

you are too small for a 150, a 125 will be out the butt with power, you will never run out, dont worry.

Ok, so this needs to be explained to you now. A 85cc 2 stroke is comparable to a 150cc 4 stroke. A 125cc 2 stroke is comparable with a 250cc 4 stroke. And a 250cc 2 stroke is comparable with a 450cc 4 stroke. Thats how it works, don't question it just roll with it. One more thing to note is that the 4 stroke listed in each pair will have a tiny bit of hp more and it will have that horsepower all the time. This is a basic comparison, but it is from 2002. The 4 stroke power is even more drastic now.

yeah, and a two stroke runs cooler, is lighter, and cheap, on top of that, it teaches basic skills, there are lots of people who like their 125's more than 250's

HerbieHancock · 02-08-2008, 11:42 AM

being the 125 2 stroke and 250 4 stroke are comparable in power what about the size of the 2 bikes?

ill be looking for a 125..is there any mods i should stay away from with sellers that will lower the acceleration? the max speed probably isnt that important

gscx · 02-08-2008, 02:00 PM

all bikes that are 125cc and up are physically the same size, and as for upgrades, you shouldnt touch the bike for like 5 months while you are just learning to ride. and as for whips, i will do a how to on them shortly

BansheeRider · 02-08-2008, 02:17 PM

yeah, trust me, you wont want mods right away. But, when you do drop some teeth off the front (will affect top speed, but you wont ever hit it anyways).

HerbieHancock · 02-08-2008, 08:36 PM

im just wondering incase i come across a good deal on a bike that already has mods...

wr250f95 · 02-08-2008, 08:38 PM

most if not all will be modded, just buy it and get use to it
