which is the best 125cc bike? between the years of 99-05

probly the yamaha iv read a bunch of shootouts and the yamaha is always at the top. the honda has great handling but its the slowest most of the time. the kawasaki is a great bike and middle of the pack. the ktm's rip but the clear winner is always the yz125 especialy since maybe '03 (i cant remember exactly) when they got new suspension and an aluminum frame

None of the ktms have an aluminum frame.I'd be cautious around Ktm's older than 05.

Ktm's are nice bikes and you dont realy have to worry about not having an aluminum frame you wont feel it SO much when your riding its more if you fall it might be hard to pick up. you will notice it while riding dont get me wrong but i dont think it makes a world of diference. my only problem with ktm's is availability for parts. around here theres only a couple dealers within like 2 hours but overall there nice bikes
