  • Owned 12 months, 100.1 miles - We have now owned our 2021 Honda CRF125FB for one year. What a fun year it has been!
    We purchased this new 2021 Honda CRF125FB (Big Wheel) from Western Honda in Scottsdale, on 2/26/2021. Our Salesman Dennis was great to work with and very helpful through the purchase process. This is video #26 in our 2021 Honda CRF125FB video series. We purchased this Honda dirt bike with hopes that adults and our growing kids will make memories and find adventure while riding it. We invite you to follow along as we ride this bike, evaluate it, and modify it to meet our needs.
    Modifications/Upgrades:
    #1 - Chain guard removed
    #2 - TrailTech Vapor Kit: www.trailtech....
    #3 - TUSK Polished Clutch Lever: www.rockymount...

    I have a 300L and I just bought one of these little 125FB's to play around on in my back yard. It's small enough that the rest of my family isn't as intimidated by it but at the same time it is much more capable than I expected. So far I'm really enjoying the 125.

    I have a teenage son, he is 5'11", 150 lbs, he is a great skier (handles double blacks like a pro, nerves of steel, makes good decisions). I've gotten weary of the expense of ski trips, and am thinking of putting the money into bikes instead. He is absolutely a beginner to power sports. I will get a CRF250F for myself.

    • @SouthwestORV
      @SouthwestORV  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Based on your description, he will likely transition to the 250F within 6 months.

    Bought one of these a month ago for my 13 year old and myself to learn on. So far we are thrilled and couldn't ask for a better bike. I am working on getting my self a klx230 dual sport so we can ride together next season. Love your videos and will be using them as a reference when we do our mantainence soon.

    Just Get out & Ride. I. Almost 65 now. Got my First machine in 73. Brand New Yamaha 80. Had the Torque Induction tank on side. UNDER $ 350.. Amazing! I was Instantly HOOKED for Life! In My time, TWO Strokes RULED the Planet! A Dozen Bikes Later & Many Decades?? STILL HOOKED! Fond Memories, Garretson Beach! Gravesend Bklyn. Tear Assing around, NOT a Care in the world. The Rush Never Dies! God Bless..

    I'm looking at getting one for my 14yr old son but also occasional use by me, why not eh? He's around 5ft 8 and 150lbs and I'm around 5ft 9 and 200lbs, would it be fine moving me around? Thanks for the review it was brilliant

    • @SouthwestORV
      @SouthwestORV  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, it will work, especially if he’s learning. However, if he takes to it quickly, in one year you may both be wishing you’d gone straight for the CRF250F.

  • @charlesreed6404
    @charlesreed6404 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You guys are having fun with this bike! Granddaughter sold her CRF50 really quick and bought my grandsons CRF110 from him. He went out and got the 125 FB yesterday. Just a great bike! They had the CRF250F there I could sit on. Thats the bike for us...some day! Do you know if the rear shock on the 125 can be adjusted? Also, noticed the same thing about the really cheap chain guard. Before you tossed it, did you try holding Honda accountable? I'm inclined to do that so they'll know they have an issue. Minor one, but I've been taught never to remove a guard.

    • @SouthwestORV
      @SouthwestORV  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes we are. We ride it weekly. It's fun to see the kids advancing through bikes. Yes, I still think there is a 250F in my future. I do not know if it can be adjusted, I need to look. I see your point with the chain guard. After one year, I don't miss it. But I also agree that it's good to let Honda know if there's an issue. Hope he enjoys the 125FB like we have!

    Kawasaki and Yamaha only put fuel injection in their Dual Sport bikes, but this bike is perfect. The Dual Sports are so heavy.

    • @SouthwestORV
      @SouthwestORV  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I predict they will follow Honda’s lead in this regard, with time. Kawasaki has fuel injected their 300R, and 230cc bikes. I anticipate they will fuel inject the 140cc bikes soon - it would be awesome.

    Is it too small for a beginner adult that is 5'10?

    • @SouthwestORV

      That adult can ride it, but it’s not the ideal size for a 5’10” adult.
