Thanks! We're still loving it. And I have come to terms with no 5th gear.

That's awesome! That first gear must be tractor low now. Thanks for sharing.

Hey First Last! Congrats on your new bike! I think these bikes are sweet, and so fun. I do have a mod sitting in the garage just waiting to be installed - stay tuned.

@@SouthwestORV Looking for a taller seat for mine, already swapped out the front and rear springs for heavier ones.

Awesome! Sounds like you're having fun with it.

@@SouthwestORV Yeah, the springs are a must have for adults, my dealer had to swap the rear spring, I couldn’t find a video on how it came apart. This bike is great for teens and learning adults and wives before moving up in size.

I love riding mine. I just ride it within its design parameters and it's a blast, even for me, an experienced adult rider.

As you’ve described yourself, I’d say go 250F. But would still enjoy the 125F for a year or two as you are.

You are the same height as I am. For you, for the long term, the 250F would be best. But you would still enjoy a 125FB.

Yessir, lots of torque in first and second too. This bike is great for slow trails with the low gearing in first. For me this is a great anybody-can-hop-on-and-have-fun bike.

DRZ125L is a great bike! In my opinion, the brand new frame/design, thicker seat, and fuel injection on the Honda outweigh the other items you mentioned. But at the end of the day, both bikes will be reliable, and fun for years to come.

@@SouthwestORV just a question, what's the big deal with fuel injection what it does for the bike?

Several things. Generally speaking, FI machines get better fuel economy, have better throttle response, and do not require tuning with altitude changes. Also, for some reason they tend not to clog up when they sit for a while, like the carburetors do.

@@SouthwestORV sounds great.

@@klassickingz9094 better air quality too

Hi Connor. The big wheel version is taller, because it has more suspension travel and larger wheels. But it is not faster. Does that help?

@@SouthwestORV Is it possible to covert the standard 125f to a big wheel?

I don't think so because the suspension is also different on the 125FB and possibly the sprockets.

Good morning, Petty. You should definitely get the Big Wheel. My son is shorter and younger than you, and he took to the 125FB like a pig to mud. ;) Seriously though, you will enjoy the 125FB and be glad that you chose it. Don't hesitate. Get it!

@@SouthwestORV Thanks!

@@SouthwestORV Is 5'3 too short for the big wheel?

No. You'll be just fine. In fact, at 5'3" I would recommend the FB over the F.

Howdy! Thanks for asking. You will definitely want the 250F.

@@SouthwestORV I am just doing very casual riding and found a Kawasaki 140 Rf. It’s seat size is just an inch lower then the Honda 250f and think it’s would be perfect for now. I will definitely keep this bike in mind if I’m ready for a faster bike

The 140RF is awesome! Probably a step up from the 125FB.

Yes, this would be a great bike for you to learn on and enjoy for a while before moving up. I'm 5'7" and 180 lbs and I love riding this bike! If not, you should go for the 250F. But I think that the 125FB is a perfect place to start learning and developing skills. Those skills will then transfer seamlessly to the bigger 250F. I think you would be glad you started on the 125FB, just because of how confidence-inspiring and easy it is.

Absolutely. Perfect bike for beginners.

@@SouthwestORV Awesome! Thank you

Thanks for asking! This bike can and will push you around, but I think at your height and weight the 250F is the better choice. This is bike fun to ride for anybody who hops on. Depends on what you want to do with it. But I'm guessing you will want something larger, especially if you are going to do more than trail ride.

Ok, thank you!

See my son was on a CRF70F, which is the same height as the 110's. He is your same size/weight and he's 12 now, and he loves the 125FB. Look at the other videos on my channel of my son riding this bike and you'll see that he looks perfect on it.

You'll be waiting a while. In that case get a Kawasaki KLX140R L and you'll have what you're after...minus the fuel injection.

Lol Honda put prices up last week again (big $ hike) . You’ll be waiting years and by the sounds of it you’ve never owned a 110/125 as brakes work fine and the added fuel injection out weighs rear brake

You could be right.

Congrats! We are LOVING this bike. The size you are describing should be perfect for this bike.

​@@SouthwestORV I'm getting one in summer aswell lol.. Never knew there were 125 ccm 4 strokes.. Thought there were only 2 strokes lmao.. anyway I'm 15 5'8 and 135 lbs, probably good for a beginner

Awesome! I love ours. I rode it this morning! Yes, 15, 5'8 and 135 lbs you'll enjoy it. Great bike for beginners or even experienced riders to play on.

@@SouthwestORV im 15 and 150 pounds i have trail ridden a Suzuki drz400s will this bike be good for me or should I stick to the 400?

If you like to trail ride in a relaxed/recreational way, yes it'll work great for you! If you are wanting to wheelie off the throttle and win a race against your buddies, this is not the bike for you. A DRZ400 is tall and heavy compared to this bike. Did you like the 400? I have ridden both as well, for what it is I love the little CRF. I don't expect too much out of it, and it never lets me down. I'm not taking big jumps or anything like that, I'm just exploring and having fun and this little bike is great for that. I'm 5'8 and about 180lbs.

Yes, you would fit perfectly! I promise. Don't even worry about it. Do you plan to just trail ride? Or are you going to do motocross? Trail riding and just exploring and playing is what this bike does best.

Good morning, Jason. Yes, and no. What is your personality type? If you are perfectly happy to ride at a relaxed pace, or you don't need to be winning races against your buddies, you could enjoy this bike for a long time! I have ridden much bigger/badder bikes than this, and there is definitely something fun about more suspension, more tire, more power! But, even having ridden and owned those bigger bikes, I love riding this little CRF125FB, and I simply switch my riding style and my expectations. As a first bike I think it's awesome because it is so dang friendly and confidence-inspiring. It's so simple and tough, maintenance is a cinch! And it would be great to develop your skills and balance, and then move up to a CRF250F. If you are a quick learner, and you like to push yourself to go faster and harder and advance quickly, you might soon wish you'd started with the 250F. But if you are patient, and you don't mind putting in the time on the smaller bike, I think you might love the 125FB. I go riding with my buddies on the trails and single tracks around here, and they all ride: KTM450, CRF450X, DR400 - big, heavy, powerful, tall bikes! But guess what, I have fun, they have fun, and nobody is really waiting on anybody. In fact, I usually guide the rides. Let's say worse case scenario you realize after 6 months or a year that you want a bigger bike...at least these 125's hold their value well, and even if you lose $1000 in depreciation over new, call it the cost of dirt bike education tuition. Hope this helps.

@@SouthwestORV After reading that I think this will be perfect for me for quite some time. My purpose in getting a bike is to ride with my son and his step dad on trails around Florida. As you can imagine it is mostly flat, sandy ground with very little elevation changes. There are no tracks that I am aware of and we don't intend to race or hot dog too much. I am pretty risk averse when it comes to something that I can injure myself doing, so I can't see pushing it too hard anytime soon. Who knows though. If the time comes in a couple years I can easily upgrade. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

You're welcome. Glad to help.

@@SouthwestORV I just took delivery yesterday. I'm so excited for the weekend!

Awesome! Did you get out and ride?

Four

Western Honda in Scottsdale, AZ.

@@SouthwestORV thanks

Mornin Futch. If you are 5'2" and 12 years old, I promise this is not too much bike. My son who is shorter and younger than you learned VERY quickly to ride this bike, and it sounds like you have more experience than him. Yes, it will feel big to you maybe the first day, but after that you will be glad you moved up and never want to go back! Based on what you just told me, I promise you will love this bike. Remember, it's not a race bike. But it IS a dirt bike and a fantastic play bike and trails bike. If you are looking for a motocross bike, you'll need to aim for the CRF150R.

@@SouthwestORV ty a lot

Out the door it was about $4400 from Western Honda in Scottsdale, AZ.

Big wheel….my son is 10, is same height as you and is learning on the exact same model

You would fit. The regular 125 might fit you better, but you're close enough I don't think you would regret going with the FB model.

I will say measure your inseam as i have tiny legs i am a 6 foot tall person and this would fit me perfectly as my legs are tiny

I'll bet it sounds mean. I am impressed with the factory sound. It sounds deep and strong, but not loud. I do not plan to change our exhaust.

Absolutely. If you watch my other videos of this bike, you’ll see my 12 year old son riding it and loving it.

Here you go: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gaeaZqdpytiwkac.html

It would be cool if they did again.

Yea need 2 stroke

reeeeet!
