i have been told by my dealer that they will be here in march. anyone getting one sooner?

 

no one knows for sure. according to the kawasaki rep on youtube.com'sclip of the international motorcycle show in which they talk about the new features of the new bike, it'll be here next month.

 

I was told Feb., but you know how that goes...

 

have they replaced the kx125's with the 100's completely, can i still get one imported or are they dead globally?

 

In Australia I have been told february by my dealer

Cheers

Chris.

 

they stopped making KX125's available in the USA in 2006- the '05 was the last model. But even in countries where it is still offered, it is essentially the '05 version as it hasn't been upgraded. Soon, all MX bikes will be 4-strokes as Honda already has the CRF150R as a full-bred race machine. If a 2-stroke MX 125 is what you want, the YZ125 wears the pants in that category. It is a bike that is near perfection in it's task.

 

Travis....what's up or wrong with a yz250 two-smoke....I saw a newer one on craigs list I was eyeing.....there's also a 125 I thought I may get a little bored with the 125 after a while....ya know, wantin more.

 

..............well nothing. Those YZ's are supposed to be the shiznit. I've never ridden a YZ in my life but I nearly bought a 2005 YZ125 right before I found out the KLX250 even existed. I was wanting a dirtbike like crazy but the dealer wouldn't budge and I couldn't be happier about that now. I then, that night, stumbled across the KLX on the kawi website and the rest is history. Anyways, I'm a huge supporter of anything 2-stroke from Stihl chainsaws to dirtbikes. Heck, my dad still has a 1976 Suzuki GT185 2-stroke street bike that screams like a tortured cat. I love them, but the sound attained from a thumper with a loud aftermarket exhaust is, well, about as awesome sounding as all three of my girls' first cry when they were born and Christina Aguilera's voice. Although I've referred to the bike sound as a "rottweiller (sp) bark, theother two aremuch sweeter but theyall sound awesome if you get my drift. But oh the sound of an accelerating 2-stroke out of a long sweeping corner with the front-end feathering up under carefully clutched acceleration just brought goosebumps to my whole body.

 

The Zuk RM125 is still available as an '08 model a very nice machine indeed.

 

Yes that is correct however the "Zuk" has been a carryover for the last 3-4 years. The YZ gets attention each year still like old times. But like you said, the RM is very nice and quite affordable as well.


Edit: Just checked the Suzuki.com website, the RM is no longer available as a new current model. Looks like 2007 was it's last year for USA. I believe Yamaha is the only available current model 125 2-stroke MX bike you can buy here.
