So with a budget of around £2-2500 what's the best 125 to go for? By the way the age of the bike or the look of the bike doesn't bother me aslong as the bike has lots of topend power.

is what i remember form riding tm ktm husky yz
YZ had good middle and top, suspension was very good..
-------------------------
Husky had sharper turning than the yz . Suspension was a bit stiffer. but power was close middle but had a stronger top
---------------------------
KTM this is a little mix since I only ridden 2011 250 and 125 03+..
But the power on the 125 motor was stronger in low end power compare to the yz
now for the 250 since its the one whit newer chassis... Is very stable and track ruts very well, But may need the front forks tune
----------------
Tm
not yet ridden whit alu frame but.. the motor is strong in the middle and got a good pull in the top.
suspension depend on what you get... marzzochi is stiffer in my opininon than the ohlins
It does turns very stable. but in slow turns it still carves..
As said this is what i remember.

The YZ would probably be very good in the woods.
I hear nothing but good things about the Husky 125's, and here they're cheap.

Well- you should just get the old standard YZ then...X2
The stock SSS suspension makes my RM's tricked out Showas feel like pogo sticks.

They did a shootout in July but I can't find it online. I think it may be on here somewhere.
But any way you can't go wrong with any of them.
My picks would be Husky and RM.

Me too. The RMs are legendary 125s without a doubt. I would also looked for something 04 onwards those were and are the best. I wish I could get one thats for sure.
Looking forward to seeing your new girlfriend

Not sure on UK prices if that is a good price or not.
P.S It must be fast if it has Rockstar graphics.
If you get it, ditch the graphics and do something original.

The RM you posted the add for looks good.

x2. Especially on the Rockstar graphics too, that stuff is so bad for you even advertising it on your bike is damaging your liver
