125...... i really wanted a 125 kawasaki, then a 250 came up cheap so glad i got the 250 because youll really be wanting more power, the 125s just need to be thrashed so hard to get up any decent hills etc

the 125's are awesum!! get on the throttle and stay there and just enjoy the ride, they are so much fun.
98 is gettin pretty old so would need to look at its overhaul history and not just rings but crank and barrel etc, all the usual bearing and bushes stuffs. cost wise would want to pick up a nice 98 for around 3k
all the guys that say the 250's are better cant ride very well
get out there on a 450 and a guy who can ride well will still pass you on a 125
and look cool as doing it!!

Haha cheers guys. The one ive just got has 1-2hours on a fresh rebuild with receipts. Theres pretty much nothing left on it thats standard, got expansion chambers etc etc brand new tyres.
I give it about 2 weeks before I kill myself on it

Took the bike out to a little spot down the road from my house today... she hauls
Any other legal fun spots to ride round Auckland? Preferably west/shore

I think im starting to get the hang of it now
if in doubt throttle out
Its a bloody nice bike to ride, just need to find some other spots to ride that are beginner/intermediate friendly so I can get some experience.
On another note managed to pick up a trailer for $100
you get what you pay for but I can make it mint once im back at work
