125 or 250cc bike?

Question

16 years old 165 lbs. built a crf230 pitt bike, and i am really good on my buddys yz250f and my other buddys rm250.. well im looking at either cr125 or cr250. brand new... im either doing 125 and putting pipe and reeds in it or just keeping 250 stock.. which sounds better to you? we do trail and track riding. been riding on race quads and dirt bikes since i was 4

Answer 1

If you do any trail riding you'll want to pass on the 125. Worst trail bike ever!! Personally I'd take a CRF250R over either of the CR models, but that's just me.

Answer 2

You'll need the 250.

Good Luck...

Answer 3

Get the 250. I have a Cr 125 and can ride all those bikes listed above, but if your bored on a 230 then just get a 250 cuz a 125 wont be as dramatic of a step up.

Answer 4

get a 250,  2 stroke

2 stroke forever

Answer 5

RM 250 all the way!!!..be carfull on jumps..i just destroyed my foot had to have surgery an all on it lost my footing on a double jump sucks

Answer 6

250cc

Answer 7

Anything that keeps the motorcycles as built, and as tested by the company that made them gets my vote.  Customizing is for looks, beauty, if you will, not making it more powerful.  If you want it more powerful, then just buy one with a bigger engine.

Answer 8

250 is better, youll have more options. in the future, if you want it to go faster you can tune it later, as opposed to only being able to tune a 125 to a certain point. plus, ur already used to riding 250s so it will be very different and possibly even disappointing to downgrade
