    WELL I RODE THE 2004 CR125 THIS WEEKEND ON SOME TIGHT SINGLE TRCK FROM EASY UP TO VERY DIFFICULT TERRAIN. MAN... THE HARD WORK NEEDED FOR THE 2 STROKE JUST IS NOT THAT MUCH FUN, CONSIDERING THE RECOVERY TIME IT NOW TAKES LOL. SO I GUESS ITS TIME TO SELL. WHAT SHOULD THE ASKING PRICE BE? ITS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND RUNS TERIFFIC. ALSO HAS THE 100TH ANN SIDE PLATES ALONG WITH NON ANN ONES.

    If you're too old to enjoy a 2 stroke, maybe you should just hang it up? Everything else is going to weigh more and steer slower than a 125.

    I didn't enjoy a cr125 2009 . Felt harsh and Yeh hard work. But now back in love with the Wr 125.
    Ignition makes it much nicer to ride trails

    @ HUSKYNOOBEE... MAYBE YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND. I RIDE WITH MY WIFE AND KID. LUGGING AROUND ON A 2 STROKE IS NOT FUN...

    From your opening line you did not state anything about riding with the family...... Based upon Husky resale, being an 04....$1000.00-$1200. There was a 04 CR125 out here in California that was list for $900.00....it looked a little rough!

    Guessing an xr400 or a kdx200 would be better options

    :thumbsup: But a 125 trailbike can be a motocross bike!:D That's why I have the little WR. It's wonderfully smooth on the trail, but is still good enough for racing. :love:

    Gosh....I hope I'm not too old for two strokes.:oldman:

    You know what they say: "Different strokes for different folks". But I have to say, I just got a KTM 250XC after being exclusively on four strokes fr the last 20 years and I'm having a blast! Maybe just because it's different, but that lighter weight and feel in the technical stuff is sweet!

    Im with PTKatoomer on this one, 10 years on 4 strokes, last 2 stroke was a KTM250EXC, and now with the TE300 Husky its like a new world for me. but to each their own. Truth is my 4 stroke path led back to the 2 stroke, from 250EXC--TC450,TE450,TXC450,TE310,TXC310R--to TE300---progressively lighter and more manageable.

    IM RUNNING 13/50 NOW. DONT GET ME WRONG. I LOVE THIS BIKE. BEST 125 IVE EVER OWNED. I DO NOT WANT TO SELL IT. BUT I JUST CANT KEEP TWO BIKES AROUND. SO FOR MY SITUATION IM GOING WITH THE 1987 HONDA XR200R I ALREADY HAVE. I POSTED IT ON CRAIGSLIST FOR 1550 IN HOPES NO ONE WILL BITE AND THE WIFE LETS ME KEEP IT LOL. THE BEING OLD PART WAS IN JEST... IF I HAD TIME ( 3 MONTH OLD TWIN SONS TAKES UP ALOT OF TIME) I WOULD BE WFO ON THE TRAILS WITH MY FRIENDS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. IM JUST BEING REALISTIC. BUT THANKS EVERY ONE FOR YOUR INPUT.
