Technical / cr125 transmission

Not exactly sure what years, but perfect opportunity to swap in a 6 speed (if you want 6 gears that is) from the 96ish cr125.  I see them on ebay for around $100.00

Found a direct replacement 2001 cr125 complete trans on ebay for $75 bucks.  This might be one to jump on...

i really think that our sport needs that 1k-2k intro bike (not brand new of course) but the used 125's-250's, particularly the 125's because they wont kill you (as fast) as the 250 will. buying 2000-2004 125's for less than 1k then fixing them up and making them ride-able then you have youself a really nice bike for less than 1500, heck maybe even 1200. There are quite a few 125's in my area in that price range. while others are priced in the ridiculous 2k+ mark, or my favorite a 1998 yz250 for 2850 

the ignorance and stubbornness of today's bike sellers is astounding. that's the worst part, is that people think a clapped 12 year old 125 is still worth 2k. THIS is what's hurting the market. also its funny there's been a few 2010 and up 250f/450's for around 3k. THIS is also what's killing the market now

Just wanted to say hello to everyone here (great site btw) and that the statement here about buying a cheap rebuilable 2 stroke is THE way to go if you have even basic mechanical knowlege.  I have done this with my last 4 bikes and never had over $1100 in one.  I just bought a 2000 CR125 about a month ago for $500 with a broken piston which needed a bottom end kit also because of the shrapnel but the bike came with a fresh cylinder.  Also came with an aftermarket pipe/silencer and suspension upgrades.  Long story short, one month and another $300 later I have a really clean modified CR125 for about $800.  I love 2 strokes....
