Question

weight 125

age 13

track and trail

Answer 1

Yamaha is way ahead of the rest of the field both in the 125 and 250 2 stroke market. The YZ, no question.  

Answer 2

the rm all the way. suzuki rm's have always been known to have more top end punch that another brand. and there reliability is better.

Answer 3

the yamaha is updated this year, the suzuki hasnt been updated in 2 years.

Answer 4

out of the 2 i would choose the yz

the handling is alot lighter and has a lot more power in the mid range

the powerband has more of a kick aswell

also i heard the transmission on the rm are a bit unreliable

i think the yz's are also alot better looking

Answer 5

The yz125 yamaha is a all around better bike then suzuki. But if you are going to race I would get a yz85 or cr85 since you would be in the 12-15 year old class.

Answer 6

i think you should get a ktm105sx or a yz85 but your heaps tall, yz125 a very very powerful but your to tall for a 85

Answer 7

Yamaha are about the only ones who are still updating and moving forward with a 125cc so you would be best with one of them as Honda is no longer making one and I don't think Kawasaki are either.  The yz125 really jumps out of the start gates racing much better than any of the other 2 stroke 125cc'c.

2 stroke 125cc's are not all that great for trail riding though
