Hey guys,

I've recently bought another MX bike (06 KX 125) and now selling it as I have always had kawi MX bikes, i rode a friends YZ 125 and loved it! It just seemed lighter and more fun to ride, so I'm replacing the kawi with a yamaha :D

Anyway, I'm based in Northamptonshire and looking to start riding some practice tracks and wood riding again, so was wondering if anyone near me dose the same thing? It won't be until next year when I'm ready as I'll get the YZ strip it and replace all bearings and give it a engine rebuild for the new year.

So yeh who's up for it? But also what do you ride! :D
 
hmm not really heard of TM before, i only know of the big four jap and a few European manufactures.

i really like the yamaha YZ 125 tho, just sitting on it felt better than my kawi, im looking for a 2005 or newer model as thats the last time they made changes to the engine and added a aluminum frame instead of steel :)

may i ask what tracks you go to? also i have never done wood/trail riding before but want to try it, where would you suggest to go? thanks :)
 
i have the chavs like to ride stolen mx bikes there so the police are all over the place, plus i dont really want to be letting the chavs know i have a nice MX bike.

yeh im gonna stick with the yamaha i think, easy to get parts for etc
 
i know there is a track right next to the A14 at the end before the M6 and M1, i also know about washbrooke farm next to the M1.

some wood trails would be nice, somewhere where im not forced to do jumps etc
 
haha, i never had a problem with my old KX or KXF's all performed flawless.

but i agree the YZ are amazing, i would go with a honda 4T, not their 2T's tho, always seemed under powered compared the the other jap bikes, but honda have had a lot more experience with 4T i think, but there CRF's are amazing.

i would get another 250F, but i love 2T too much lol

my first ever bike was a 1992 KX60 lol then had a 1991 KX100 the progressed from there
 
hmm 06 yz 125 it is then, i fancy playing with the suspension, jusr had a read up on them.

i loved my old 2009 KX250F all it wanted to do was lift up the front wheel, it did have pro circuit cams in tho and a full pro circuit exhaust.

im getting my full licence next year, fancy a old yamaha WR250 2T :D hard to get now tho
