I fully agree with the 125 being more effort to ride, but I recently did a rebuild on a 2003 yz144 and I was very impressed with the amount of low end torque and midrange. It was night and day different from the base 125. If you get the chance you may like want to swing a leg over one and give it a try. My friend with the 1998 EC250 liked it so much he bought a 144 the next weekend.

I plan to do a 144 kit on my God daughters GG MC125 over the winter.
