125-200cc CR165 for fat boy ??

Would it haul my fat butt around ? 240lb vintage mx'er these days but that 165 sure looks like it would be fun to play around on. Ride 90% of the time at old-school natural terrain mx track ( Rio Bravo ) although just got a '84 WR400 to try out some vintage CC this weekend at Diamond Don's AHRMA race.

It would at least get you rolling.
I would bring my bike down if I had time to ride and you showed me the local trails.

i've got the 167 (uptite) and it hauls my girth around with ease I weigh 230 with gear and it's no problem..

Admit it Kevin, my 165 runs circles around your well massaged 167. And I weigh 245 with all the crap I carry.

This is true Mr Bean ... When are you and John com in this way again ?

Life is pretty complicated right now but we have talked about taking a long weekend if we can arrange it for a Boise riding fix.

Know what you mean... Hope it gets better or less complicated

Spent a day testing pipes a couple of weeks back around a mixed piece of land and the 165 pulls my old fat 245lb ass around with ease
After 5 hours I was dead on my feet but still loving the 165 (best bikes i have ever owned)
A little snip of what one runs like

6'2" 225 nekid.... So probably 245ish geared up... Mine is weaker on bottom then those with the fatty pipe, and it's all I want....

That vid is with a dep pipe that is the weakest pipe I have tried off the bottom but it still does a pretty good job, just need a young fit pilot to get the best from it
A stock ktm 200 pipe make them rip of the bottom but falls a bit flat up on top, the fatty still would appear to be the best all rounder of a pipe but as you say if your happy thats all that counts, were all have different needs and thanks to Walt and his work we all can be catered for, the man is a super star

If it counts I have a stock 125 and it hauls my 100kg (220lb) frame no issues.

this is all good to know people, keep gettin told id be too big for a 165(6'4 240lb kitted up). what about rocky loose hill climbs? i ride a fair bit of it but also a lot of tight ST.

cool vid johnnyboy, track looked like awesome fun just need a few more jumps, maybe some logs/tyre/rocks & a creek crossing or 2 i could ride that all day long & not get bored!

You are going to be stunned what a goat the 165 is on tough, loose climbs.

as soon as AUSKY gets his 165d wally il be first in line for a spin dont worry mate! im just worried if i get a 165 then the 300 will be left in the garage.

i'm stunned every time i ride the thing!

It seems at this point we are talking among ourselves. .

Thanks to all for the input, great info

These 125 threads are all awesome. The enthusiasm and love for the bikes just spills out. I really hope I get to join in on the husky 2 stroke love soon. Great stuff!
