Quick question 125 v 250

y_d0c · 04-20-2008, 06:38 AM

Im currently deployed to iraq and looking for a bike (honda) for when i get back. Ive rode plenty of 250s before but no 125s. Ive been debating on getting a 125 over a 250 considering it will save me a couple stacks. Im 6'4 200lbs and my question is, will I be too big for a 125, or do i NEED a 250.

much appreciated

I assume you are comparing two stroke to two stroke, correct? If so, then I would suggest a CR250R over the CR125R. If you are diligent in looking you can find a CR250R in very good condition for $1000. You can also find them for $3000 so it really depends on how much you look. However, I think you will enjoy the CR250R much more.

I would think you would be a little on the large side for a 125. You would have much more fun on a 250

tigmaster · 04-20-2008, 07:39 PM

So... which bike were you talking about?

JThompson · 04-20-2008, 07:42 PM

I am sure he is talking about two strokes

tigmaster · 04-20-2008, 07:45 PM

That is what I thought. I think the CR250R would be the best choice for him.
