My buddy and I ride dirtbikes. I have a 2001 Suzuki RM 125 that I've kinda out grew (if ya know what I mean ) and he has a new Honda CRF450. He likes his 450 but says that it is a little harder to corner with and move around in the air. Before that he rode a 1999 Suzuki RM250 and did very well on it. He gets it out once in a while just to run it then he puts it up for the year. I'm not sure if you are looking for anything used but if you are he is trying to sell the 250. It is a great bike. He takes care of his dirtbikes like they are his kids. lol. It has brand new plastic and decals on it along with a few bolt on performance parts. And when something needed replaced he always replaced it with better than OEM performance parts. Also he has had all the suspension parts on it shipped out and tweeked by RG3. The same company that Travis Pastrana uses. It leaves the ground nice, lands nice and gets in and outta the corners great. If you are interested drop me an email at rich_z28@hotmail.com . Like I said its a 99 and I'm not sure if you're looking for something brand new. But for the record it's been kept in GREAT condition. Appearance and performance wise and for his price you can't beat it with the aftermarket parts he's added.

I was thinking what ever you deciede to Buy my and my buddies will help you Mod it Theres alotta cool guys on the board that can get you sweet deals (dreamer1q) But we need to get you into something so we can tear up the streets. I was thinking we could even get you a nice T/A or Z for like 5-9 grand and just build it to the nut hole. I have a Pic of mine the day i got it. It was nasty out and was really dirty [IMG]New TA[/IMG] i dont know if that worked but it was worth a shot. Do you Have AOL or YAHOO?

 

i ride a kx 500 and love it, the 125s that i had were all high maintenance, bigger bikes dont need to be revved therefore dont need to be rebuilt (topends, and crank bearing) as much
