125-200cc When the 125 ruled enduro

Just reading an old 99 Dirt Action mag ( kinda sad really)
To remind some of the sceptics of the 125
In 98 Shane watts won outright in the ISDE on a 125
In the 99 Australian 4 day Enduro 7 of the top 9 were 125s
Shane Watts won on a Ktm 125 . Ben Grabham second on a Wr125.
Third was a TM 125.
A TE 610 came 10th WR 250 14th
Shows how far 4 strokes have come and that in the right hands a 125 is a very quick bike indeed..

One of my favourite picture had the wording "Watts was pure magic to watch. His aggression and line selection gave him the sort of speed in the grass track moto that put all the big-bore two strokes to shame,"
