     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

125-200cc Is the motor in a 2013 wr 125 made by KYMCO?

    I have a 263cc Sym scooter that hauls the mail with zero runability issues. It is made in Taiwan, like KYMCO.

    I'd take a Taiwanese motor over an Italian motor any day.

    Though the 125 motor is pretty damn good...at least it was in 2002-2004

    The new ones are a little "Luigi"

    WR125 motors have never (and likely will never) be made by KTM.

    The new 125 isn't a WR, it's a completely different bike/platform, with a different name.

    KTM made husaburg now HUSQVARNA will turn into husaburg which is a re baged KTM
    The husaburg te125 is now a husky te 125 and comparing the husky motor to the KTM reliability IMHO could be a factor

    kymco has proven they can build good stuff and Taiwan is not korea. Then again the Koreans are now building some very good stuff too. Hyundai looks like a Honda these days and gets great reviews. I think the days of "chinese crap" are largely behind us except for $400 pocket bikes and people now have CAD and metallurgy is a science so most everything built with some thought and QC is good these days.

    I completely agree with you Motorsportz, I in no way intended to slag KYMCO at all. I was just curious.
