Agreed.. I'm 5"11 160lbs and I had a 400 that was fun but to bulky in the woods. My favorite bike ever was the kx100 I had as a kid. I bought a cr125 like 10 years ago and I like being able to throw it around vs throwing me around 😂. Sure a 250 would be better in many ways, but I'm 40 now, I don't need a rocket. I live about 90 miles from Kaplan is about time I take a ride down and checkout the inventory.
My first fullsize mx bike was a 92 my buddy got a new 97 and it had sooo much more midrange it felt linear compared to mine. But riding 125's was all about clutch/rpm and he still never beat me on track. Bring back the smokers!!!! By 97 I was on the 250 train though. Good looking Bike, went from RM to KX in 97 though(98) the Cr's frame was horrid
I’ve lined up against a few of these bad boys in my racing daze. I had a KX125 in those days. God I can still smell the smoke and two stroke oil and the racing fuel.
I still got the KX! I was blastin' a particular wide corner at an awesome track (closed yrs ago) here in Japan when a pro rider showed up and blasted that corner faster than I had ever seen on his RM125. I will NEVER forget that! WOW!
@@wannaseethevid yeah I’m still trying to keep riding. I’ll enter an AHRMA race every once in a while. I’m 65 years old now. I just can’t flick a 125 around like I used to. But I jumped from my 125, which I still have, to a KX500 now. I DO NOT get out of 4th gear on that beast. I’m talking on a straight line into a berm. I’m finding I I don’t heal as fast as I used to over 40 years ago.
Absolutely amazing , the TLC you guys put into these bikes is phenomenal, that sound !!!! You can see the passion in your face when you were reving this stallion, thing is gorgeous 🇺🇸⚡️🙏💪👍
Come take a ride with Kaplan cycles on two-stroke Tuesday you made my day. I love two-stroke Tuesday Kaplan cycles number one rm Suzuki 125 Tweety Bird screamer
@@KaplanCycles I remember the days of guys doing that claiming the bike would have better response off the bottom, I personally never felt enough gain in response to justify not having an idle. You can set the idle really low and get pretty much the same effect
Bad ass I bleed yellow and love what you do. Seen a Harley video imo wouldn't click on It. Not hating just giving you feedback. I wish I could buy a bike or two from you!
Nothing more fun than a great running 125
Nothing is more fun to ride than a perfectly tuned 2 stroke 125 you can just ring its neck !
Hahaha 🤣

This would sit nicely next to my green one of the very same year. That was when bikes were FUN to ride.
Thanks for sharing Ken! That be so much fun to race that in 125s! Still probably could kick some butt!!
Getting the engines goin early!. Best thing to wake up to
You got that right!
That thing runs like it got a missionin mind! Beautiful!! Good Morning Kap!
The Sweet sounds of Two-Stroke Tuesday!!! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🦅 🦅

RM125. Best 125 ever built imo. ❤
3hrs turn around is excellent for a bike like this. -doubtful any shop could do it that. Race ready also.
I’m drooling over this one!!!!!
Sounds like it really hauls ass!!!
I will 100% buy a bike from yall
😅 Mr Kaplan, enjoy the fall colors... And another motorcycle and another and yet another 🎶🎶✨
Nice clean machine. Looks ready for Jimmy Decotis to hop on! Nobody rides a 125 like Jimmy...
Jimmy would be stoked on this one!
No doubt the bike speaks for itself. It's ready to go
Snappy little gem great looking machine.
I have the same bike in same condition immaculate, a love to ride it, its a bullet💨💨

One gorgeous and fiesty RM! Always loved RM's .
Old School " Murder Hornet". Suzuki needs to bring them back.
Just ❤❤❤❤

Thanks! I love the sound of a two-stroke.
Nice bike!

must be 2......................sday! 2 stroke~ I can smell the mix burning
It’s like a time machine back to the good old days!
Ahh beautiful bike 😊
A ripper
How much horse power does that bike have?!!!
What’s goin on with the idle why the bike cut off without hitting the kill switch
I noticed that too
It's a race bike it's set to not idle Idol can be turned up if you want
@@KaplanCycles I remember the days of guys doing that claiming the bike would have better response off the bottom, I personally never felt enough gain in response to justify not having an idle. You can set the idle really low and get pretty much the same effect
The reason for it not to idle is if you crash and for any reason someone gets tangled up in the bike it’s not running 🤙🏼
@@jasoneardley2202 my opinion if the bike can’t hold a idle it’s not running right race bike or trail bike
Bad ass I bleed yellow and love what you do. Seen a Harley video imo wouldn't click on It. Not hating just giving you feedback. I wish I could buy a bike or two from you!
Suzuki was the first 2 stroke quitter. It’s a shame
I have this exact bike
🐝🏁 Suzuki very fast motocross bike it's a ripper .video 👍
They really are fun to ride!
@KaplanCycles very fun and fast 🚀
