HI, im lookingg into getting a dirt bike. i have an old yamaha ct2 175. im aslo looking at a newer Honda cr125. my yamaha is a trail bike. but the honjda is a moto cross bike. which would be a better for trail riding?? See the only thing im worried about is that im gonna have to replace the piston and rings, and have to bore out the honda every year. this is because it has high rmps and wears out easier than the yamaha. they are both two stroke. my yamaha wont have to have a rebuild though for like another 3000 miles. Which one would work better for me?? And how many hours of medium intensity riding would i have to rebuild the top end on the honda.

 

you dont have to rebuild everyyear. its just like people say you have to rebuild a banshee every year, but ya dont!! proper maintainence is key. I would pick the CR over the YZ, many people may disagree, but taht is just my opinion. I dont know how it would perform on trails. my guess is that it should be fine, and if you ever decided to ride on the track or somthing else, the CR can do it.

 

id deff go w/ a yz125 or used 250 4-stroke
