125-200cc Get a 2010 or wait for '11

I have been reading about the trials and tribulations of the wr125 and in particular the BOG. It seems to me most "serious" or on the heavy set side, choose to add the 144 kit to make the bike EXACTLY what they need. So this brings upon the question I am about to submit, even though I think I can answer it on my own.

Is it better to wait and purchase the new 2011 WR150 or do all the mods on the 125 and hope I can get it just right?

P.S. I know someone, somewhere, in some test article, will find something finicky on the '11 wr150.

I hope this question doesn't seem as silly to you as it does to me.

If you want a "plug and play" bike then I would wait and see what the 150 is like. If you don't mind a bit of tinkering the you could pick up an '09 for $4k, slap a carb and 144 kit on it and save maybe $500 or so. Then you also have the 125 piston and cylinder if you happen to need it.

Thanks lawndart. Exactly the reasons I am lookin' for!

Anyothers? Anyone? Buehler?

I do not think you can go wrong with the WR125. The bog is solved with an adjustment of the PV arm. The carb is hit or miss, but comes on both of the bikes I believe. I think the '09 comes with CC Marz, '10 with OC Marz, and '11 150 ???

Depends if you are willing to wait. You can probably find a 125 for $4-5K right now.

Thanks JS, I think I will keep taking in as much info, revalve my suspension on the YZ and wait for the perfect timing.
P.S. The dealer in Squamish, Canada w/2010 wr125 is asking $6800
