2009 Husqvarna
WR125
MSRP $5,999
Husqvarna still believes in two stroke engines especially for the 125 class and this engine size remains the entry point for many young riders wishing to join the world of Enduro. The little two-stroke 125 now has a completely new frame whose geometry stems from the four-stroke models. This new unit is more comfortable, lighter and more reliable. The layout and appearance have been totally redesigned with 80% of the components being new. Great care was taken during component design so as to improve both ease of fitting and the machines appearance. New components include tank and filler cap, seat, side panels, front mudguard, radiator guard, air filter box and frame protectors. The newly designed frame is made from oval and box section steel tubing that provides a stronger and lighter structure.

Like no other enduro bike in the 125 class, I also have a CR125 Honda, and the Husky kicks its butt in the tight trails and rocks. At first I just thought that the Honda just needed to be geared down to keep up with the Husky. But all it did was make it lots slower on top end. My last WR125 had 4 years of District 37 Hair and Hound series and enduros. NEVER had an DNF due to the bike. Funny thing about it, I had never serviced the forks or shock, and to this day my in-law is still riding the 02.
Want a FUN to ride 125...forget the Jap bikes, the Husqvarna makes them look very bad. Ted Elswick
