So we have been looking for a bike for my girlfriend and I'll be going to Mpls to pick it up tomarrow! Should have it by 4pm!
It's a 98 CR 125, Here are a few pics , found it on craigslist.

Awesome bike, I love those things but it's been ages since I was on a bike.  She should love it.

Sweet. 125's are awesome bikes

Nick

well, check this shit out! so I was on my way out the door, and the fucking dick head calls and says "well I got a call from a guy last night after I agreed to sell it to your for 750$ and he'll give me 950$ so I'm going to sell it to him"

Then, He just reposted the ad and tryed to talk shit about $ in it because he never sold it, or maybe didn't have a buyer lined up, just trying to rip me off. . I told him my girl is buying it, we need a bike for her. So he is a shit talking punk. FERK him, here is the ad. He broke a verbal contract, FERK him. So I sent a text laughing at him offering him even less for being a dick! lol

now i'm talking to a guy about a 96 RM 125...
Looking for any 125, yz/cr/rm/kx , it has to be a 125 at least cuz i'll be riding it also and I need something that will haul my fat ass.

nice work bro!


:clap:

that's funny stuff.

anyways, found a nice RM 125, rebuilt about a year ago, it's a 96, just made and offer and he accepted, soooo guess i"ll be in Hastings tomorrow. 
here are pics

Got there and the bike was a junker so I didn't buy it, 300 miles and it was no where near as nice as the kid said...Clutch felt like it was going out slipping a bit, didnt' run smooth, spray painted plastics, tape on the levers.


Got to see randy and his wife, it was awesome seeing him! and great meeting lydia! she's way to cool for him! lol


Good news though, went on craigs list last night, Found a 93 RM 125 in st cloud, which is on my way home,, I told him about the other bike and this guy said he wouldn't do that to me, the plastics are great, the bike runs awesome, all stock, clutch is perfect,. Sooooo he's off at 5 and i can look at it then, so i'm going to stick around here today (big lake) and check it out tonight...
hope that it's worth it.

Nick

ok, so just got off the phone with this guy, 94 yz 125, rebuilt in 07, needs chain and sprocket, decent shape. 600$, I can pick it up on my way home...order the parts and have it up and running asap... I don't think I'm going to stop in st cloud and look at the RM...cuz he wants 750 firm for a 93 RM 125 that needs chain and sprocket also, only thing it has is new tires... I will say one thing, after test riding that yellow/black RM from the above pics, a 125 doesn't have near the power i remember when I was younger. lol. I even think since my girl is so good on the raptor she could be fine on a 250, but she can't touch the ground for crap so she didn't want on, oh well, we can always upgrade her later.

here is the yz

I remember 125's as having a lot more power than they do now..................
Nothing to do with weighing twice as much now as when I rode them more regularly of course.

Nice work.
always loved the smaller blue-smokes, great on trails & stuff cos they're so small & light to throw around.
Hope she enjoys the riding!
