Harescrambles/Trails Bike?

Posted by: TTR125LRacer14---------------------

I was wandering what kind of bike i should get next, Right now i have a 2003 Yamaha TTR125L and next summer i will probably grow out of it. I am 14 5"3 120lbs and i race it in Harescrambles but i will need a bigger bike so i need a harescramble/trail bike. A dealer said i could get a YZ125 and stick a heavier flywheel on it while tuning the power delivery for smoother pace. My dad thought i could also get Exc200 KTM. Any other choices?I am tippy toe on my dad's EXC 250 which i rode already but thats too much for me right now.

Sure tought to argue with a 200 EXC.

A 200EXC would be great and is most likely the fastest 200 class bike you can race. However, I rode a 2005 YZ125 with flywheel weight and all the off-road goodies and wow, it's like riding a mountain bike with an engine it's so light. Remember also that with a 125 you'll still be racing 200exc, GasGas 200EC, KDX220r in the 200 class.

KDX or KTM, 200 sounds good.
