    Any bigger guys ride these?
    I am 6ft2 and 240lbs in gear. With a 150cc kit on it, how would it go given my weight?
    Would the power from the 150 kit make it similar to a 250f MXr? I like the power of the 250f and am comfortable riding one.

    Would I be happy do you think on a CR with the big bore kit?

    Also, how would they compare to a KDX200?

    I'm a little lighter than you (215 in gear) and my daughters 144 was adequate for me. I rode with a couple buddies and they couldn't keep up with me on their 250s, the weight is the big factor. I think the 144 feels like a slightly underpowered KDX on the bottom, mid range I like the 144 better.

    My CR165 pulls my 200+ lbs with ease. It has also pulled a 270 lb friend of mine aound our MX track. I just got back from our club and it was a ball with the exp set up. I know my 165 will pull any 250F I 've been on and it's way funner while doing so. So I think a bb-kit on the 125 is the way to go but I wouldn't stop with a 144, I'd go WB165. Never been on a 200 KDX so I can't compare the 144/165 to it.

    Thanks guys, will do some more looking into it.
    Can you tell me where to find the WB165 kit?

    I rode my wr in 125 form for about 6-8 months, and loved it... I still love that small bore bike, but the 165 is the way to go if you want the option of being lazy the last 1/2 of the day. Or if your tired of climbing hills at 10,000 RPM, the 165 will also solve that problem.

    Haha, I read your post before I saw who posted, and when I read your height/weight, I thought to myself, that dude must be lanky!

    it says enough how the bike is liked (people don't let it go that easy)

    Exactly... My brother asked me to sell my 125 to my nephew (who is 15ish), for his first bike. I told him if he bought me a brand new one, I'd consider it.
