HOW LONG WILL A NEW TOP END LAST ON A CR125
HI, im looking into buying a dirt bike. i found one for $750. it is a 1987 honda cr125. he said he has 4 hours on the rebuild. i know they are racing bikes so they go alot faster. Im just wondering if im goning to use it for trail rideing how long the top end will last before i have to put a new piston and rings in it?? Is this a good bike for what i want? I will go fast sometimes but not all the time. IS a 100cc dirtbike to small for me?? im 5'5 and 135lbs. Also the bike comes with a chest protector,googles,gloves,boots,and a jersy. it also comes with half of a spare motor. Is this a good price for the age and what it comes with?? thanks

um..... thats a preaty good deal if ya ask me. if you dont beat the dirtbike, u should get by with rebuildin it once a year. or maybe once every other year. my friend has a kx125, and we rebuild that everyother day cuz of us really givvin her.. my other friend had a kx100 with alot of stuff done to it, and we all outgrew it fast and got bored with it, so he went with a yz250f. i woud say go for the cr125, should last ya a lil while, and u probly wont outgrow that for a while.

a 125 will usually last between 20-50 hours depending on how you ride it. those small bore 2 stroker mx bikes are kinda short lived. for trail riding you would probably be happier on a 4 stroke or a bigger bore 2 stroke. if i were trail riding a lot id get a xr 400.

The problem with running an MX bike in the trail is the slow riding gums up the engine and makes the top end wear faster. With a CR type bike you should run it high RPM's all the time and it will last longer. Get a good 4 stroke for a trail bike..like an XR.
