    Looking at the 2010 WR125, I wonder if the new frame is really an advantage. The motivation behind the offset rear shock was to allow the adaptation of fuel injection for the four strokes without having to modify the engines. I guess if on the WR125 the carburettor and air filter duct is straight then there maybe an advantage ?

    Is anyone able to give an impression how the wr125 handles compared to the other 125s ?

    I have had piles of huskys. I love the 08 and up frame over all the older ones. the 08 TXC450 was my first. I owned (2) 04 CR125 huskys. when i saw the 09 had the new frame I jumped on the WR125. It is an excellent platform and IMHO a good step up from previous frames IMHO.

    Thanks for the replies. It will be interesting to see if Husky straightens the carburetor and air box inlet track to take advantage of the new frame. :)
