Dirt Rider generally has a good amount of 2-stroke coverage.  They also recently had similar ride reports on the YZ250 and KTM 250SX.

I love my 98 125! I have been riding for two years and have no where near the skill to upgrade. the onlything that need to upgrade is the most important part- THE GUY sitting on it For the 125 its a win win situation, #1. no one expects you to win, so if you dont its no big deal. #2. If you do win everone else just looks silly.

Cool,a 125 is still my bike of choice for most things and I'm just as fast (or slow)as on anything else.You just have to work a little harder-and have more fun while doing it. :)

In motocross 125's are the most fun to ride and amazing to watch in the hands of a pro...

Like this video from the 1986 Motocros des Nations...

Or James Stewart from 2004 against a field of 250 Four-strokes...

If you notice, Bubba's 125 was actually pulling Roncada's F on the uphill portions of the track.
  Maybe the top 10 at AMA Nationals should be required to be on two-strokes to make the racing better. I know the AMA will never go for it. I've been told first hand what they are interested in, and it's not outdoor MX.

I would be against making them do that, too.  It's not a very sportsmanlike rule. :P
