125 MXer = "great beginner's bike".

XR200 = "goes real hard".

DR250 = "experienced riders only".

The other thing that has been annoying me are idiots who don't know what year model their bike is - especially when they claim they've fully rebuilt it...

And kids talking up any f$%ked out CR or KX500 as though its the second coming of Christ.

I cannot stand the rare description either. If you have been looking for something for months and have not found it, you will know it is rare without someone telling you in the description. Then some guy advertises something as rare and the dealer still has a thousand of them waiting to be sold. ::)

just saw one..." XL 125...make a great Vinduro bike"....

sawa CT 125 have 25 goes at a hill at a recent Vinduro.....so the answer is "I don't think so"

My fav dirt bike test quote of all time from Super Hunky
Regarding the 74 xl 125 , Honda dose nor quote a power figure for the XL which we think is just about right :D

My fav is about power bands , I wonder how many just print what others have on the past . The other is the use of VMX in descriptions is it the new catch word any bike older than 15 years has VMX in the description . Iain
