She will be missed

[K2Snow]

So some of you may remember (ok so probably none of you will) the day that I came to exriders posting about how excited I was to have finally gotten a quad. Well, she's gone now. We had some good times together and she sure took one hell of a beating without ever giving me any problems. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and I traded her in for a brand new RM125. For those of you who ever think you may transition to the "dark side", I'll say this... the bike has been a lot harder to master than I thought it would be. Lateral movement, twist throttle, sitting waaaay up high off the ground, the flickability in the air, the tendency of your body to refuse to lay the bike almost on its side in turns. Definitely an entirely different experience, but a lot of fun regardless.

[K2Snow]

Replaced, but not forgotten. RIP

[nowukno]

Trader!!!!.......j/k that's a nice bike , one of my friends has a yz450 and i agree that's its different but just as fun.

[muddy400EX]

i used to have a yellow 400ex and i traded it in for a fully modded 2003 RM125. i ended up trading back for a 400ex agian


it was an awesome bike and it would definately rip like hell but trading for the bike was the worst thing i ever did

nice bike, only you shoulda gotten a yz250f and whats up with your seat :huh

[FoxRacing81]

Nice bike! I wouldn't mind having a dirtbike to ride around on.

Going from 4 stroke to 2 stroke i am all for :) dont care what kind of rid it is.

Congrats.

[I-7]

If you love it now once you get used to it you will love it even more. They are a lot of fun and in many cases a lot less expensive to maintain.

shaved seat foam so it sits lower. cheapest way to go about lowering seat height.

[Mxjunkie]

Hopefully next summer I'll have a rm125 too :) Nice bike you'll love jumping it.

[HondaEXrider22]

Thats a nice looking bike.

[MotoX3]

nice bike...suzukis are nice bikes....good power and i love the handleing on them....:p

hopefully your leaving the site now right?

[MotoX3]

about the shaved seat....the 125s these days sit soooo high...im a pretty big guy for my age...14 and 6' 160 pounds...i hardly even weight the thing down....and the suspension is set for my size....it gets pretty annoying when you dump it over or eat shtuff hard and have to climb up onto it again....id do the same but need the extra padding for my bum:o :chinese:

[Tommy 17]

my friend has the same bike its an 03 thou...


its a good bike very realiable the only thing we don't like is teh suspension... after riding the cr250fs and the new yz125 it just don't compare haha...

[hessianmx111]

Nice bike man I'd say you'll have way more fun on the bike. I'm trying to get rid of my 01 250f for something a lil newer.

[F-16Guy]

I like my quad, but it will never replace a bike for me. Once you get good on your bike, you'll see what I mean.

[Punk'd]

Sweet bike! I hope your happy with it bro. Goodluck

[muddy400EX]

the dirtbikes do sit really tall nowadays, i always thought the 125's sat low compared to the four strokes tho. heres a pic of my old RM:)

Most guys on here haven't been around long enough to remember the motocrossers of the early '80s. They were much bigger than today's bikes. CR125's and 250's from 81 and 82 had almost 40 inch seat height, actually listed at 39.8, I believe. My 81 YZ125 was over 38 inches, it was one tall b*tch.

[MotoX3]

yeah i like my 125...but its just so much work to ride one....205Fs are just so much easier to go fast on....125s your shifting all the time...bleh beggers cant be choosers though i guess:p

[exrider360]

ithats a burton snowboard shirt and you live in cali this a a dumb question but is there ever snow there

yes

[K2Snow]

Thanks for all of the comments guys. As for the seat, yes it is shaved down with hardly a centimeter of foam between the vinyl and the plastic. The bike is definitely huge! I'm 5'4'' and 135, looking for all I can get. Suspension has been softened a good amount too. With riding boots I can one foot it good enough so I'm not complaining. It has definitely been a blast to ride. Everyone has their own preference, but I'll never go back to four wheels after having the bike. A 4 stroke would be nice, but they are a good deal more money. Also, I'm not the best mechanically so I wanted a 2 stroke for simplicity. As for the snowboarding comment, Sean White lives 20 minutes North of me in Carlsbad. He often rides at Big Bear (2.5 hours from San Diego) which is said to have the biggest and most diverse terrain park in the states. Me and my roomie on the Cbox, me on left.

[K2Snow]

Here's another shot. Notice the shirt ;) Cali is the only place where you can snowboard in the morning, and surf in the afternoon/ evening. Did I mention how many pro dirtbike riders come out of So-Cal? I love this place.

From what I've learned from my research, YZ125 has been dominating the class. Well, not dominating... but has been sitting on the top by at least a small margin the past couple of years. I've heard great things about the Suzukis though and the dealership had a great deal on the last shipment of 04's that still hadn't sold so I jumped on it. I'm not good enough on the bike yet to even notice a difference I'm sure.

[LeGaCyGiAnT124]

Wow! Awesome deal. My 125 was 5350! The 4 strokes were all right around 6K. Dealers around here don't budge off prices, big market for the bikes.

Well if your telling the truth and you really did buy that bike which I don't really think you did, then you got screwed, that is not an 04 with old plastic, look at the carb-mounted hotstart, 03+had it on the clutch perch:ermm: .

about the hot start he said he got new exhaust cams or something so it didnt need a hot start? could this just be it or did i really get screwed over?:confused: :confused: :ermm:

I traded in a BEAT 300EX. They gave me 2K for it which I was stoked about. Kelly Blue Book said 1995 or something for a 2003 300EX in excellent condition. This thing was beat to hell: e-brake broken, plastics roughed up and broken, oil reservoir cracked and welded, entire plastic mount on handlebars destroyed, handlebars bent, etc. Paid off the remaining 3350 straight up. I got the last '04 they had. They had a couple of '04 CRs left too but I had my heart set on the Suzuki.

I don't think he bought the bike either, but that's just my opinion.

Took 5 seconds to find this.

[K2Snow]

And after further investigation.... you're 14 yrs old with 6 bikes!? I work full time and about 5 hours of overtime a week and I could barely afford the RM. Granted, I pay rent/ utilities/ groceries/ insurance/ etc..... but still!

Took 5 seconds to find this. yes that is the bike on ebay. hes was supposed to end auction early. were picking it up on saturday, yes it is an 02, my dad was under the impression it was an 04., and that the title said it was an 04. just a big mix up.
