looking to buy a dirt bike which is the better bike the 2004 suzuki RM 125 or 2004 YZ 125



thanks, jonathan

 

The YZ seems to be better designed but those bikes are usually so similar it doesn't matter. Pick a color or whatever you can get a better deal on. Seriously though why not get a quad?

 

no doubt get a yz, but why not a quad?, get used rap or shee, maybe a kodiak even, doesnt matter if its 2 wheel or not ur gonna have much more fun, u can go fast anywhere without falling over like on a bike

 

Im 5'4 what would be a good bike for me? Whats the power difference between a yz250f or a yz125?

 

250's are ridden by many pro riders, its pretty small (in size not speed), my bro has one hes about 6', im about 6'2, its a wild bike, get the 125....ull get urself killed lol

 

imo id say the rm but its because i own one..id say they are both evenly matched in the racing department its mostly what one feels and looks the best dont go by what brand u like the best or id have a yamaha buy the one that you think will suit your style even thought im sure both would please you.

 

Hey dont get a suzuki there not good bikes. get a honda they are good reliable bikes that you dont have to work on everytime you go riding.

 

My buddy used to race a CR 125, hes spnosored by a few local shops. Well, he went to an RM 125. Why you ask? Cause the CR 125 is one of the slowest MX machines out there.

I have a KX 85 (too small BTW), and I ride a Z400. I would take the quad over the bike in a heart beat. Quads just seem unstoppable to me (unless yur taking on a brick wall). My KX though, its been great, never brought it in for work, its the first 85 model Kawasaki came out with, got it in 2000. I havnt changed the spark plug in over a year, I run a 40:1 fuel to oil mixture, completly stock, only replaced the front brake and clutch levers numerous times.

 

i would take my raptor any day except for maybe the track. Granted the raptor isnt the best MX quad, just a quad in general doesnt seem as at home on the track as a dirtbike. If you know what your doing on a dirtbike, your can really rail on a track cause your not as limited to stability and tipping issues. Plus your only landing two wheels on the ground and not four but this is just how i feel. its obviously not written in stone or anything.

 

It's a no brainer. Yamaha has the two best bikes in the 125 class, the YZ250F and the YZ125. Go to a motocross race and look how many blue bikes there are.
