please help me out, i can't decide, the 4hun is a little more money, but not too much of a difference.

i would be using this bike for mostly urban, dj, and skate park use. flat landings and stair gaps!!

Get the 4Hun, much better frame then the 125. Plus the 2002 Dj fork have creaking problems, stick with the 2003 Dj2.

BTW I have a 2002 4Hun and I love the bike, you really can't go wrong.

the hun is a nicer frame but the 125 sounds like its got better stuff on it. i think i would still go 4 hun though

I totally agree with sandman, the 4huns got a way better frame, its hella burly, did a double stair gap, each set with 25 steps, and almost over shot it, the frame didnt even protest the least, great frame, perfect jumper and park bike, go for it. depending on your height you may not like the stem.

You did a 25-25 stair gap? You must be Wade Simmons or something....

it sounds insane i know, but stairs are really easy to do, you just have to have enough speed to clear the first set, the rest is cake. there are 2 at my school, the landing on a 25 is big, so you dont have to worry about it alot, its fun.
