I have never been on a 125 2stroke.
My son are now ready for the next level bike (I do not like the word "upgrade"..)
He is in grade 8 (st6!!) and weighed in today at 72kg!!
He is not "fat", just bigger than average for his age ..I think!
He is on a RM85 now and I always planned that the next bike would be a 125 2str.  Until I saw his weight today (sug)
Question to the off road gurus here.

What "size/weight" can still comfortably fit on a YZ125?
and, can you do medium level enduro stuff on a YZ125 or is the engine too "ON/OFF"?
I must add he rides with the RM85 most places where I go.
Please say a YZ125 is till the next bike! ;D
Comments will be appreciated
