ttr125 to small?

[yamarider4life]

hello guys i'm new at riding....i recently got a ttr 125....the bike runs good but i really dont think it fits me well......im am 15....6ft...and about 160lbs.......i fell cramped up on this bike and dont really think it has enough power.....i can handle the bike very well and think i could use a upgrade.........i was thinkin of gettin a yz 125.....but not to sure.....so if any one has any seggestions on what i should do i would really appreciate it......Thanks

Hey man, I had a KX100 and I am the same size as you just an inch shorter. Anyways I to felt really cramped up on the 100 and I upgraded to a yz125, I love it now, it has so much more power than the 100 could ever have and since it is a bigger frame fits me really well. So I would advise moving up to a 125 but it would be better if you could ride one first and feel the power of it because it is going to be a huge leap from a ttr 125 to the yz.

Give this thread about a day or 2 and your head is gonna be spinning from the opinions. Honestly, you have to pick a bike that fits your style and riding ability. If you ride MX, get a MX bike. In my opinion the YZ is the best 125 you can get. If you ride trails, get a trails bike. Personally I like the 4-strokes for trail riding. Some of the 2-strokes can be a handful in the tight stuff. Give some more info about what type of riding you like to do and the opinions will flow like water with additional information. Good luck

Hey 125yz is a great ride for your size,but down here verry few 2-strokes race anymore more 250f,s than you can shake a stick at.For trail rideing a ktm 200 is hard to beat.

Yeah dude your way too small for the ttr. Your a big guy..I think you would do fine on a YZ 125...just be careful of the power the first couple of rides

i agree with everyone els man........YZ 125 is your bike........

[RMBOY]

I would suggest a 125

i have one. i am about the same size. im very cramped up on mine. but they make bigger tires and wheels and shock springs for up to 200 lbs. yeah i would say go with the yz125 (THATS WHAT IM GETTIN)

Yeah, i have one, i weigh 165 and its only sprung for a 100 lb. rider in case you didnt know. Go with a 250f. You will Definetlely thank me in the long run. Good luck, You can get an 04 crf250r for around 2300. Which isnt that much of a difference from a 125. I have a crf250r. and its WAY easier to ride faster than my cousins 03 kx 125. BOth of us are about equal riding ability and when he rides my bike, the more he wishes he could have it!!!
