I have wondered how my 2008 cr125 would stack up against a yz 125. I just bought my boy 2010 yz 125 because we a have great local dealer that gives good deals for local racers and they do seem like great bikes. I was out riding with my son a 16 years old 5,2 foot and 125 pounds. I am 41 year old 6 foot 195 pound. In straight line drag race booth bikes are close yz might be little more snappier off bottom but cr has slight edge on top end might be factory gearing. Handling the yz is quicker but it not as stable as the cr and I like the way the cr corner better yz is to twichy for my old reactions . Biggest different are front forks are better on yz for big jumps and just overall but my ohlin rear shock is great. Cr is build for bigger heavier taller rider, great for heavy older guys. So overall boy loves his yz and I love my Cr but I would not trade him or he would not want to trade for my bike either. Both great bikes for different type riders.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Yep. I have ridden both, the YZ is nice as well. I like the ergonomics and turning better on the husky. Buddy thrashed the crap out of a 08 YZ125 for years and it was very reliable.

I had YZ as well. I agree with what you said about handling - I came off the YZ a few times but WR more planted.
Husky is more for grown ups - Im also too old for a YZ 125
I found the YZ had less jetting issues .
(One thing I noticed was the short intake rubber on the YZ carby compared to the Husky Dont know if this makes a difference)
