I would never buy a 5 speed 125, who ever came up with that concept should be shot.  125s need 6 gears, period.  If you are riding off road, same for 250s.

6th. is mostly for beachrace, open roads, or desert IMO.
I'm in the market for a 300 Enduro next year, and at this moment i really miss a
sixt speed on the TM300 EN. That's the only thing holding me back from it.
But for on a MX track, you probably won't get to 6th.
Perhaps some prefer them over a 5 speed because of the closer ratio spacings.
But every 125/144 is fun on the track. For some tracks here, a 250 is already too big to
fully enjoy it the most. Beiing able to go full throttle on a small bore 2t is great amusement!

The 2003 Yz125 (my bike) has 5 gears and it was dubbed the best 125cc two stroke of all time... Believe me from experience, it is great. You can exit corners with more speed than others. It has a bottom end that will out do any other 125 as well. I was racing up to a jump with someone else and just because my 4th gear is a little faster than his, I easily overtook him.

there hasnt been a track in my life i've been to i've heard of any1 hitting 6th gear. Dont get me wrong i'm sure its happened i've just never done, seen, or heard of it.

I hit 5th gear on my track every lap. Big downhill off of a jump.

I Looked at a 04 cr125 last summer, the bike needed suspension seals,idled at 5 grand, the kid told me he didn,t rejet for ice riding, I,m sure it needs  the cylinder replated. He wanted 1,800, I did the math on the parts then I left. He just called me the price now is 1,450 , a minute later 1,300 , last owner  2.5 yrs.  he calls it camp riding, the 1st owner accordding to him was a girl  her dad bought it new in 04 she raced it dad was the mechanic. The bike is a bit beat, guessing it,s from the last kid.  Just saying some sellers are having a hard time, selling.

LOL not for me. My 16 year old nephew has outgrown his 80 and people around here think 125's are made of gold or something.

Makes since. The only time 125's are cheap is at the end of summer.

Nah they are never cheap here. This area is bad for bike prices. They are always high.
