YZ125 Racing! North Coast Clash Hare Scramble 7.24.22 - Open C Class

Border Battle XC round 3 at Big Snow Resort on Indianhead Mountain in Michigan's Upper Pennisula. The track was in perfect condition and we couldn't have asked for better racing weather! Came out of the holeshot in P2 and ended up leading the charge for almost 3 laps. By lap 3 the arm pump started to set in pretty good and was doing my best to hold onto the bars for the rest of the race. Best finish for me yet, look forward to getting after it next weekend at Trollhaugen!

This is so impressive considering you stopped racing after 50cc. 2nd year back??? Yeah...pretty great, much improved 💪🏽

[@The2006200]

do you feel held back by the lack of power of a 125 or does it seem like it has all the power you need for this type of racing?

For this particular track, it might have been nice to have a bigger bike just due to the amount of wide open sections. But as for the traditional hare scrambles and enduros with more woods sections, honestly I don't feel the 125 is underpowered by any means, just harder to ride. It's all about the rider and how much they twist their right wrist😉lol
