Question 2. did they only stop it for other countries or the us to?
Pressure from world bodies over noise pollution has stopped production on a couple of the well known brands of 125cc including Kawasaki and Honda. Popularity to race the 125cc has also been down as they quite often have to race against the 4 stroke 250cc and they usually get beaten (of course there is exception to that depending upon the rider onboard).
Part of the reason that honda developed the 150cc was to replace the 2 stroke 85cc although I don't know if it has been as successful as they would have hoped as the idea was for them to race against the 85cc and in America they don't allow that as they race in their own class. Australia has them racing against the 85cc.

I weigh 120 lbs and I am 13 years old I am wondering what kind of dirt bike I should get and what engine size. I would like a new bike.
A 125cc two-stroke or a 250cc four-stroke would be a good choice for your age and weight. Choosing between a two and four stroke is mostly based on personal preference. Each has their own advantage and disadvantage over the other. The most obvious difference is that two-strokes require you mix your oil with your gas. However Two-strokes are also lighter than four-strokes and have a much simpler design. It usually costs less to modify and repair a two-stroke engine than a four-stroke engine. But two-strokes can also be finicky and a lot less forgiving than a four-stroke if you don't know how to tune it properly. four-strokes also have a more user friendly powerband, they tend to make more power than two-strokes on lower RPM's so it's much easier to putt around and go as opposed to a two-stroke which tends to like being revved high. I personally prefer a two-stroke over a four. But you need to decide which would suit your needs better.
Choosing a brand of bike is the same also, whether it's Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki or KTM. All manufacturers have their advantages and disadvantages over the other. Just keep in mind there's nothing that will affect performance, handling and reliability more than how you set your bike up, and how good of a rider you are. I've had friends on modified 250's and 450's get spanked by 8 year olds on 80's for that same reason.
So do some research and see which bike would suit your needs better. Once you buy your bike be sure to also get a repair manual for it and learn how everything works and how to properly set it up. You'll end up being safer, faster, and a better rider.
Good luck with your purchase.

E bay we just bought 2 from them50.00 a piece
I am buying a pocket rocket which I already posted a question about that. And I am buying either a 250cc quad or 250cc dirt bike with a clutch. Which one should I get?
I would go with a quad. You are less likely to bail on a quad then on a dirt bike. Depending on your experience.But it will hurt alot more when you do bail on a quad. I just think there funner and better looking. Im going to be purchasing a 2007 Yamaha Wolverine. Have fun with your choice!!
I have some enduro experience and im about ready to get a bigger engine than my XR100R. any advice?
Perhaps add a few more details about your height as that makes a difference as at 13 there is a great difference in how tall people are.
Just go along to a dealership and have a sit on a few different bikes to judge how big a bike you can manage. The crf150r is a really great bike and you would be able to race that for a couple more years. If you are really tall you could look at a 4 stroke 250cc.
Im 13 and really want a motorcycle and people say i need to learn on something smaller and i already picked one out to buy but i need to know this!!!
On a public roadway ? Yes, you sure do…..with the proper endorsement. 150cc and lower (class "L")….151cc and higher (class "M"). It also needs registration & insurance. You are 13, so it will be a few yrs till you can even get a license…..I hope you have private property to ride on until then.
I can kick it down and every thing but it wont start up.
Take out the spark plug and hold the body of the plug against the cylinder pot, kick it over and see if you are getting a spark on the plug, if not try the end of the plug lead and see if you get a spark from that, if not , you have ignition troubles, if you have a book for the bike look up ignition answers to the problem.
If the ignition is alright see if the fuel line is in order and fuel is getting to the carburetter, and the float is not stuck down, or you have water in the carb, or dirt, also your fuel filter clean, or needs cleaning.

Ive heard alot about dirt bikes regarding height and 2 stroke vs 4. I have never riden one and looking to start. I am 6 foot 2 but only 160lbs. Which bike is the best to buy, also 2 stroke or 4… I want a bike that i can learn on but be able to have enough power when i become advanced. I will be doing mostly trails. Thanks in adavnce.
4 stroke bikes these days have jsut as much power if not more than a 2 stroke, I suggest to get a 4 just because it'll be less matenance and great for a beginner. All the bike manufactures make good beginner bikes I like to lean more towards honda, and yamaha in the 4 stroke technology they are good. Anthing from 100-250cc 4 stroke will be a great beginner to intermediate bike or a 80-125 2 stroke. A 250 4 stroke can have to much power for a beginner especially if it's brand new, I have a new yamaha 250 and it's sick fast so I'd lean more towards a honda 150 4 stroke or something simular. I'm 6'3 and 185 so we're not much different in size and a 150 pulls me around pretty good.
I'm looking at buying a bike, for main use of riding on the road to cut down on gas. Someone I know suggested looking into dirt bikes. I can't afford a bigger bike yet, nor to I want to start out on a real big bike. But what engine size ect. would be best for using it more as a vehicle than Motocross type stuff.
Definitely agree. Try to find a good used 250cc dual sport (dual purpose). Check craigslist and bike trader. Kawasaki KLX250 or Suzuki DR-Z200 would be good choices. Fairly inexpensive used.

Dirt bikes are prette much outlawed on any road anywhere, some places and towns will give you the slip becuase its just a simple way of getting around the country side
to be legal it must be a model with blinkers/lights/speedo, for example
honda Crf 250 = 250cc standard dirtbike 4 strke , Honda Xr 250 = 250cc 4 strke dirtbike road worthy with light/blinkers etc
in the developing countries cars are swaped for quads but nothing like that in america, i know it sux i used to use mine to go to my friends places and around the roads till i got caught
cheers
