Maybe a Stupid Question

We just got a 96 rm125 along with me having a ttr225.

having the rm now makes me want to get a better bike than the 225.

problem is i like 4 strokes and like the size of the rm125.

the stupid question is, are there rm125f, cr125f, yz125f, kx125f?

or do they only start making four strokes in the 250s?

A 125 2 stroke & a 250 4 stroke are roughly equal in power. Although a 4 stroke power is way different than a 2 stroke.

So the modern 250f is the replacement for the 125..

And remember, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people!!

Stick around.. It gets better.. KTM is going to be running the new 350 4 stroke in the 450 class outdoors this season.

Just get a CR500AF and not worry about the strokes.

Honda does have the CRF230F but you could probably find a better deal on a CRF250R or X

The CRF230F is a trail bike. It doesn't equate in any way to a 2 stroke 125..

You've got some Chinese crap as well.. But go for a 250! Just as quick as a 125...

A Honda CRF230 would be very similar to the Yamaha TTR225...both beginner level trail bikes. You would gain very little from buying a CRF230. I would recommend that you spend some time on this site or elsewhere learning about different types of bikes and their purpose, that way you can make your own informed decision.

To answer your question, the big 4 all make very small 4 stroke bikes, such as 50cc all the way up to 450cc. Click on the link.

Of course, this lineup has varied throughout the years.

well i'd like to venture into a older (late 90's) 2 stroke as a project. But i'm 95% of the time in fields and woods. how would a 2 stroke be in that terrain constantly? too jumpy?
