im thinking about getting a new bike this spring and the bike is a cr125r. Im 5'7 and weigh 125 and have been riding 2 years on a ttr 125. i know 2strokes have alot power and i just want to know if it would work out for me if i got that bike. some people say i should get a cr80 but others think i would out grow it to fast. if i did go with the cr125r should i just take it to opens areas for the first few times riding it to get used to the power band and learn how to control it. thanks for the help

Get the CR125, throttle works both ways (you can always close it) You will be traveling a lot faster due to more power but mostly because of much better suspension Take some time to get used to it

The 125 is the better choice. Your experience on the ttr is all you need. You are already pushing it on an 80, and by the end of next summer you will be bored with it. If you step up to the 125, you'll be fine on it for three or four years.

The cr80 will be way to small for you.
The power increase from a ttr to a cr will be manageable. And you'll love it.
