    The TE125 is a better bet, than the EN125, if you want a bike that's easy for your lady. Dirt Bike Mag said it was better down low, than a TM EN144. You can still ride the TE125 like you stole it, in the mid-top range!:eek:

    Yeah its a bit of a tough nut as im asking it to cover all bases really.
    Not keen on parimiter frames either but the tm looks good will need to blag a ride next time i see one.

    Robertaccio wich local dealer, gp motorcycles? As a road trip isnt out of the question if the price is right.
    Channel tunnel £80-120 fuel 1000miles = £120 so a saving of £200+ would be fine plus i could ride those sick trails you ride.

    GG back in production but dunno bout the 125. Think they use a yz125 motor or similar design so be good donk in it. I know they have started production on 200/250/300. Ec200r be nice too but 125s the go for light bike feel. New bikes rule-smell good, look pretty n unmolested!

    Why not a YZ? Price is right and so many parts and kits you can make it do whatever you want.

    They are all tall now... '15 GG EC125 is as tall as anything. Low GG bikes ended with '11 models. 125 EXC is probably the tallest of the lot....

    Spanking new! if you can, I say. Seems that's the way you were heading a few posts ago. I think only plastic changed last year, there were some other upgrades a few years back I think. Big change was 10 years ago with the perimeter frame. :cheers:

    Yz125 is 992mm seat height from memory. Taller than husky!

    Do u need it rego'd juicy? Only reason I suggested GG as true enduro n homologated or what the hell ever u call it over there for road use eh?
    Yz with FWW, longer silencer, different gearing maybe Pv/comp/timing adjusted be sweet. Bigger tank n good to go. 2015 they got the bigger ti pegs, bigger front disc, new plastics n some other small things I think.

    YZ125 is actually a pretty decent woods bike out of the box, and make good low end power. Not a big fan of jap bikes, but it would probably be my choice if I had to buy a new 125

    Its a grand cheaper than anything else... So could get suspension setup for the saved dollar.
    Lower links are available and 992mm seat height! Just who actuall are they selling too i mean the Japanese arnt giants are they?
    With lower link and seat cut down my bike sits at 895mm so thats a full 4" lower than a yz???? Madness.
