125-200cc The WR125 had its first real test

Two weekends ago my wife, sister, and all our kids met up with some friends to ride. I changed the jets on my wife's WR125 and right when I was about to hand her the bike, she says: "Do you need to test ride it to make sure it is fine?" For about a second I thought about telling her, "no I just changed the pilot jet." But I could not resist a quick ride on the bike. So, I hopped on the bike and headed out with 3 other guys all on KTM 4ts (1 250f, and 2 450f). The quick ride turned into about an hour of hard charging (and almost running out of gas on the little bike).

I was so pleased with the WR's performance. It killed everyone in the tight stuff and was buzzing around on the open flowing trails. After we were done riding the guys I rode with said, "you ride that fast...are you shifting it nonstop?" (as they were panting and dripping with sweat). I hopped of the WR looked them in the face and said, "I was just test riding it for my wife, when do you guys want to push it?" OK. I did not really say that, but should have.

We went out again later that day. This time on my TC250. I am faster on the TC250 (no surprise), but did not feel as good as I did when riding my wife's micro motored bike alongside all these thumpers.

Oh yeah...and the WR has 82 hours on it with only a ring change.

I can relate - I am faster on the TE 250 but miss the 125 - you are lucky youve kind of got both
I find the 4T quicker in twisty stuff though - maybe the wr is quicker when you have lots of obstacles and trees
I think a Cr125 for the occasional track ride and a TE 250 for the trails would be my ideal set up

Nice post! They can hook ya!
