2001 Yamaha DT R 125 or 2004 Yamaha DT RE 125

@calum I can spend anything up to £2000 and performance is quite a factor for me to so maybe ill stay away from the DT R

[Calum]

@natnice It''s not necessarily the DTR, it's just the models from 2001-2004.

If you're going to tune it, then it won't make any difference. But bog standard, the 2001 cannot be fully derestricted.

[NatNice]

@calum Right I see good thing you said because i've planned on riding it standard for quite a bit before I decide to do anything to it.

+1 for the RE, looks alone for me!

As much as I love the style of the R over the RE, the RE seems more refined and the electric start is definitely handy!

[NatNice]

Thanks for your opinions guys I’m heading out to get it tomorrow! I’ll update you in a week or so if all goes well!
Thanks

UPDATE:
I got the Yamaha DT RE and I'm loving it!! She does have some N.H.S tires though which I need to change any suggestions? I do like tires which appear to look thicker, I am open to suggestions!

[Calum]

Happy dayz! Throw up some photos!

[NatNice]

@calum I definitely will! Just need sort these tyres any suggestions I’m looking for a pair of enduros.

@natnice I used to use Avon distanzias, but I run completely different wheels now so I couldn't offer any advice.

[NatNice]

@calum Ahh fair enough didn’t they look weird on 18 and 21 inch wheels? Haha

[Calum]

@natnice No? Looked fine...

[NatNice]

@calum ahh my bad wasn't the ones you were on about they were another kind the Avons look nice for the road just trying to find a pair for green laning

[Calum]

@natnice I used them greenlaning lol

[NatNice]

@calum Ohh damn really haha seem to be pretty popular sold out everywhere, finding it a real hard time to find 80/90-21 tyres

[finnerz89]

@natnice Distanzias are called trail riders now, try searching for them

[NatNice]

@finnerz89 ahh found them thanks bud.

[NINJA]

@natnice I had TrailRiders on my DTR, look look awesome and gripped superbly well - I'd highly recommend them!!!

You can go slightly wider with 90/90/21 on the front and 120/80/18 on the rear with the stock rims. Which looks a lot beefier as well as improving road-holding and stability at speed too.

Michellin AC 10s if you want to do some proper technical stuff, if you just want dualsport tyres which are good both on and offroad I use some cheap vee rubber ones that came on my WR wheels during the summer, gripped well offroad in the dry ish mud and I hit some gnarly stuff, utterly useless in bogs or bad mud mind, as are all dualsports.
