well since you love 2 strokes and power i would save up abit and go with a 00 or 01 ktm 125.

very fast race bike...so much so i would call it an unfair advantage racing in a 125 class lol

the powerband kicks in abruptly and still has lots of bottom end torque not to mention the awesome hydraulic clutch



Posted by: miller2193---------------------

any reason for the specific 00-01 year ? how about a little newer one like a 04 -05 any difference

why would you wont a bike in caymen go for a pwc lol just joking i love caymen was there three years ago great place love the turtle farm



Posted by: miller2193---------------------

Yea its a cool place to live if u got a boat or waverunner... The turtle farm was cool about 3 years ago . But we had a hurricane and they were forced to re-build it.....you gotta see it now... Its called Botwaines Beach... Shark Tanks, mata rays ..... almost like a miniture Atlantis .... (kinda off topic sorry )
