An aluminum frame YZ bug recently led to the purchase of two YZ125's.One hasn't lost any clutch cover paint yet and isn't ready to be screwed with.That little turd has a lot more under the hood than I expected out of a bone stock 125.It rips!The other is a nice bike,but it's ready to be torn down and screwed with.I bought it as a real nice running core with the intention of adding a few cc's and giving it a facelift.The certificate of origin's both state an impressive 37.8 HP.Since I'm planning a full "why the hell not" rebuild on my core bike,should I go ahead and do a 144 Eric Gorr kit?Or.....Should I just do a stock rebuild since I can be quite happy with the stock 37.8 HP?Whatever I do to one I will have to do to both.I want them to be set up to run and ride the same.I'm looking for a fun and reliable bike.I don't give a rat's rear end if a 450 4 stroke can out run my little 125.I just want it to be fun and reliable.

144 kit:Do it?Don't?.Fun factor?.........Or just leave them alone and buy a YZ250 to gain some bore,stroke,HP and torque while giving me better odds of one of three having a clean air filter and fresh tranny fluid at all times?

The stroker kits don't impress me.That seems as pointless as building a wimpy little 347 out of a 302 when you can just start with a 351W.I'll add a 450 killing YZ250 smoker before I bore and stroke anything.
