[QUOTE="motometal, post: 957976, member: 24727"] well, it sounds like the KTM and Yamaha are "out". Evidently KTM had a lot of engine problems and poor sales, and quit making them. CR85-I know the CR has a lot more of a "hit" since it doesn't have a power valve, but do you really think in a drag race a new CR would equal or beat a new KX100? If so, that's impressive with the smaller displacement. Jasle-Sounds like the CR runs more like a typical 125 (they have very little low end). I have no problem keeping in the powerband, although in the woods it would be nice to have more bottom end, but that's not a deal-breaker for me. It looks like in '05, Honda updated the motor and a few other things, so I might want an '05 if I get a CR. It's always hard to tell if these changes are significant. If you look up the specs for the '05 vs the '06, some of the numbers like the wheelbase have changed, yet it doesn't indicate that they changed anything in the description. Maybe they changed the swingarm? I'm still looking for input on the ergonomics of the two bikes for a 5'11" rider, how they compare. If the leg room is tighter on the CR, I could add a tall seat and bars, but there are limits to this before some point where the feel of the bike gets goofy. [/QUOTE]
