I actually kinda like it (I have one so bias) but idk lol

Haha not a dumb reason. I'll never buy a Husqvarna because I don't like the colors of it.

@@DerekHallman They have it in orange and red btw ;)

Yamaha's are good bikes my first bike was one, i switched to kawi cause i hate the airbox design on the new yz 250f and i have had good luck with the kawi

THATS WHY I DONT LIKE YAMAHA TOO

@@Randy_Cox true 😭

agreed the 4 strokes are much easier

thanks Reid!

Honestly when I was young I was terrified of my first two stroke 125 too. Just need to keep riding it and the practice will make you more comfortable on it and enjoy it more.

@@DerekHallman thanks dude. In hindsight the next step was obv an 85 but I’ll get used to it just by going more

Have you hade any bikes before?

@@albertforstall6265 had a ttr-125 for a year or so and had a ttr-110 for like 6 before (I’m 15 now). It’s completely different I’m just learning the powerband and getting used to being on the air

@@Declan_conlantrust me, everyone says a 125as a super aggressive power and but it’s not that bad compared to an 85. There a lot easier to ride just because of the longer wheel base and the bigger tires and suspension. They don’t want to wheelie like an 85 does

Didn't mean to rag on your bike Ray 😭 You MUST ride my 150 next time we link up.

@@DerekHallman only stating facts haha will do can’t wait!

When your 4 stroke blows a top end or you have to replace a spark plug you gonna want a two stroke again 😂 I work on cars and the reason I like 2 strokes more is cause the require less maintenance than 4 strokes and there easy to rebuild once you do them enough

@@just_z7137 nah that is true but I just had the top end on my bike rebuilt so hopefully this doesn’t happen

Just about every 4 stroke motocross bike is an absolute pain in the butt to work on. Sure, you won't need to maintain them as much, but it's still a race engine. Something will let loose eventually. Racing isn't a cheap hobby. If you want to race with reliability, get a pit bike. Sure it's not fast, but still tons of fun. 2 strokes are much easier and cheaper to work on, so that's why quite a few experienced riders opt for 2 strokes instead of 4 strokes. Big 2 stroke bikes also tend to be more lighter and maneuverable, which is a big advantage to some people.

Honestly there aren't many public tracks in Virginia. My favorite is this track, Robert's. If you head down into NC there are a lot more tracks. I'm pretty sure we met at Robert's the day I filmed this video. You have a YZ250X and a red Ford Explorer ST right?

@@DerekHallman yeah man that's me! I've been trying to dm you on a platform so we can link up!

It's better to buy a 125, the costs will be similar.

if ur on the smaller side go for the 85 if not just go for the 125

@@espo2199 not even close to the "powerband" 🤣🤣

He ain’t riding it right that’s why it’s not the bike

Probably a carburetor issue. Either it's gunk in the bowl, or the jetting size.

You don’t really have too if your hitting the gas slightly hit the clutch and shifter at same time and if you get used to it and learn it more you’ll see why it’s more effective in dirt racing or wtv

With a 144 kit the Yamaha would probably beat it ngl.

@@nathanroberts8777 true

For a older one in good shape at least 2 grand but if you want a new one that's really nice prolly around 3 to 4

Not too bad for my first time ever on a dirt bike though 😭

@@kirbytrees127 probably should have rode it harder for sure! Nervous doing that to friends bikes haha

@@DerekHallman wasn't bad for a first time brother, alot of people hate revving them out as that's the scare factor with blowing up(even tho it's worse to bog em out). But yeah dude they sing and love being ripped in powerband, if you can keep it always in the powerband you'll see alot of difference. As far as them being fast yeah no. The rider makes it fast and the fact you rarely have to brake

Captain obvious 😂
