I had a WR125X for about a year and it was a fun little machine. With a couple of mods and a new pipe you can release 'all' the power. Bear in mind that you are buying a 125 and it aint gonna be the fastest thing out there, but that baby WR is a good crack to ride and i think set me up well for the far heavier xt660. If he wants a fast 125 tell him to get a 2 smoker like an old dt125 that has been tarded or if he can afford the husky sm125 2 smoker is apparently quite quick. If he gets a WR tell him to PM me as I know some good tricks to do on them
