Title: KE125
Post by: buckets on August 22, 2014, 01:29:53 pm

I am looking at this here in thailand and bring it back with me
Its selling at $1200 AUD - perhaps expensive but this type of bike attracts that price here

But what to do with it?  KX type conversion?  Leave it stock?  or leave it well alone??
Suggestions?

I had the 175 version of this as my 1st onroad bike ( in Green ) nice bike but huge $$$ for it from a place u can get a T shirt for a $1. Bring it home and ride Vinduros on it, something to go up against TEX on his DT125  ;D

I was thinking that it seemed a lot of cash, plus whatever it costs to get it here. You could buy a KE175 or something like a DT175 or XL185 here for less.

I don't know much about the KE125 but I think it'd take a fair bit of time and money to turn it into a classic motocrosser.

I paid $300 or thereabouts for my DT125, granted its not as tidy as this KE...

Personally I wouldn't bother. Just my 2c worth.

Definitely want to see more pint sized trailies to keep my DT125 company at vinduros!  8)

Could turn that into a very quick bike for anything, some decent shocks and forks will go even faster
