Well my stock 2013 wr 125 (has skid plate and hand guards) worked out great got 3rd off the start and ended up 5 at end of race out of 25 in my class, which is not bad. Did I miss my 2008 cr 165, yes I did and think I might have got 3 rd with it. On long straights I could see 450 pull me on the straights buy alot where on my 165 I did not notice any bike out pull me on straight to bad. For stock suspension wr did really well and I caught lots of guys in the tight stuff. So it to bad my 2008 cr165 did not last the whole season but sure glad I bought the 2013 wr125 to finish season off on and know it will be awesome once all convert to a wr165 with Lectron, 200 sx pipe. I ended up in 2nd place for series and happy with that and think 165 husky helped me out a lot. Thanks everyone for all there help on Cafe Husky.
