Im going to be getting a new bike soon, and i was wondering which one would be better for me.I have an 84 pe175 right now, and its pretty fast, i can beat my friends 2003 ttr-125 in 4th gear. but its a little heavy for me right now. im 14, about 140 pounds, and around 5'8-5'9. i was thinking of getting a bike anywhere from an '88-2000 RM125 or KX125 because i still want the tourque and speed that my old bike had..but lighter. would those be a good choice? i dont do a lot of trailing in the woods but sometimes i will trail a little, i do a little jumping, but i want to start hitting bigger gaps, and thats why im getting a lighter bike, the p.e is just too heavy for that right now.
