    Hey guys,


    After having a bunch of fun in the dirt on Saturday (first time on the te511 in the dirt and my first time on tight trails etc) I am thinking of picking up a 2 stroke wr125 or cr125 for use strictly offroad. I would need it to be green sticker unfortunately.

    So I am having trouble finding ANY green sticker husky 2 strokes anywhere.

    I want a 2 stroke for simplicity, plus I would like the lighter weight, as its a play bike. Lower maintenance cost and I would like to ride a slow bike fast. My 511 never left 2nd or 3rd gear no matter how hard I pushed it, it just has way way to much power and top end.

    I do see tons of Honda cr125's for sale but supposedly those are not a very powerful bike at all. They do seem modern enough and parts avail. makes it a thought. Plus one can be had in the 1500$ range.

    Any year model before 2003 is green sticker. 2003 and up is only four stroke models that pass emission tests and get an emission approved OEM sticker on them. This means that no closed course competition bike 2003 and up, two or four stroke can be green stickered.

    Do some research on where you ride and if red stickers are allowed. I had found that most places allow red stickers year round. Only some areas are closed to red stickers part of the year. Stonyford is open to red stickers year round.

    I just picked up a 10hr 01 CR on craigslist in Santa Maria for 1600$. Helluva deal, but its of the Honda CR variety, as in CR250. Just got back from Rock Front. And I realized I have no clue how to ride a two stroke. I'm pooped

    You guys are lucky up north. Our local red sticker season down here starts on October 1st., and ends on the last day of April. So we have 5 months that we can't legally ride our red sticker bikes. But it was much worse, when they started that crap. Back in the early 2000s, red sticker season was a mere two month stretch, covering the months of December and January.

    Wow! I used to be under the impression that it was for the whole state. Then I started noticing more and more red stickers in the summer time. Kind of weird working a checkpoint at the WFO with a ranger, and damn near every bike was a red sticker.

    This was the whole reason behind my husqvarna purchase and the Yamaha I had before. I figured it was less of a hassle when the ranger see's a license plate.
