All 2st got a question for the racers around here

been finishing really good on my 144 this year in small c class. im moving to B class next year.

my question is im not sure it will be enough bike. im way faster on the little guy then i am on my built up 250, but the 250 is more bike then i care to wrestle around for 2 hours at a HS race and even more so for a 50-90 mile enduro.

i know on a given day anyone can win but should i stick with the 144 or should i look into a 200 KTbooM?

stick with the 144 for awhile.

running fast the second half is what its all about. less is more.

I turned expert on an old 2002 GasGas 125 which many consider underpowered compared to many other 125s out there,but it was like riding a pedal bike in the tight woods and really only left me stuck on a long hill once in my whole season,they dont tire you out in the long run,I would have been racing a WR125 this season if not for the few issues they had from the factory,who knows what model i will be on next year? I know it will be a husky though!

You know what i am going to say Just read any of my posts for the last 2 years
Husky CR 125 can run with the best ,Well you might say that is because he is in the old mans class but i also have 2 kids on them 1 is leading in points for the AMA Nationals hare and hounds .That same kid use to race a 510 and just a few years ago was # 2
open Dist 37 .but says the 125 is more funThe other kid comes back after not riding for 2 years and does well
also .Heck we now have lights on it and just finished 10th overall at a 120 mile long desert night race.The kid started and comes in 5th overall but i am old and lost a few places .But each lap the kid gained a few back ,only to have the old man lose a few
Plus you say you are on a 144 we ride a bone stock 125. All of us ride in the a expert class so if you ask me i will say stay with the 125/144 Husky

ok, cool.

the only thing i have to say to ajaxauto is your all in the expert class. im in C going to B. id like to stay in this one for another year or 2 as well. just curious.

i didn want to have to set up a new bike anyways.



ps.i already know i dont like the wr250's so that out of the question.

If you are doing good in the c class then you should be ok in the b class My point of saying we are in the a class was as you move up it gets harder to run up front .But the little 125 have been holding there own as we have to run against the faster class .
Your 144 is that the one that was for sale in texas last year i was about to buy that one but the owner said it went to iowa

the very one sir!!!

hell of a bike, you know why i couldnt pass it up for the price.

auto clutch kind of makes up for the lack of displacement on the hills.

only things ive done to it was put the yellow and blue back on and put a big tank on it. youve sen pics on here im sure.

Racing a 125/144 will teach you to be a faster, more aggressive rider. Spend a few years wringing the daylights out of a popper, and you'll be waaay faster on the bigger bikes later on than if you switch to a bigger bike now. All the really fast guys started out by learning to fly on a 125.

So how much of a power increase is the 144 kit over the stock 08 CR? BTW I love my little CR125 it's a blast to ride.

i have no idea, i bought the bike with the BB installed.

I am seeing that now with the 310. Meaning that prevoiusly learning to need to be in the right gear at the right time, critical line selection, getting all shes got (said in the "Scotty from star trek" voice) when riding the bike, and making sure your really on it when coming out of tighter stuff and entering more open stuff so the big bores don't catch up on all the stomping you gave them in the woods. Now on a larger bike I know I am going quicker and even though more weight, the new frame is the bomb! Handles so effortlessly. The 09 125 in the new frame must be as comfortable as riding a size 2 on a honeymoon!

You will be able to handle the mighty 250, when you grow up Razor. Be patient.

there's always an orange 200 with an auto clutch for sale in the Des Moines area.

There are also some sweet Chinese 150 four strokes on Craigslist.

Good advice right there,.. did it myself on an orange bike, definantly helped me out

STAY ON TEH uno FOUR 4

looks like the 144 is working out well for you Razor.....good ride yesterday!!

thanks!

yeah, the little bike just loves to be reved to the moon!

it ate up that grass track ,it felt like, till the pros got around me!

The 450 was loving the grass track too......
