I have a 2001 Honda CR125,very nice bike,but it needs new radiators,the old ones are bent,and needs a new exhaust system,adding up to about 600-700$'s in the end.Should I keep it and fix it up,or trade it in for a brand new 85cc yz or cr,or somethin like that? I bought it used,and i'm a little shorter person,but i can touch both feet on the ground,but yet when on an incline or somethin,i can't,and struggle keeping it up.I can handle an 85cc much better,shorter,better for my size,and better for starting motocross,I want to start racing.So,should I trade mine in for a new one,or fix it up???
If you are planning on racing then it depends on your age. If you are under 14, then go with the new 85cc. If you are 14 or older stick with the 125cc and get the suspension modified to fit your height. Once you turn 16, most tracks require that you race in a 125cc class.
