2001 Yamaha DT R 125 or 2004 Yamaha DT RE 125

Hmmm it's a toughy!
I prefer the DTRE's, because that's my little pup, but I'm more feling the DTR for looks here.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with the DTR performance wise since I'm reliably told the 2001 era of DT's suck.
Unless you want to buy an aftermarket CDI, they are just severely limited.
What's your price range out of interest.
I would recommend, not jumping the gun, and just ensuring you end getting a nice one.
It all depends on what you're after.

@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
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
@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 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 ahh found them thanks bud.
@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.
