I feel like I should think that is cool, but I have absolutely no idea what it is supposed to convey. Endurance mile markers, mayhaps?

Vague post ahead. I want to pick up a small, old dirtbike (I've been looking at 85s recently), but I know jack poo poo about this segment of motorcycles. I just want something junky, but still operational, to dick around on and teach family members to ride.

What models should I keep in mind, and what should I be expecting to pay for something less-than-pristine?

If this has good compression, I can only assume a still-dirty carb, bad plug, needs valve adjustment, or something like a clogged fuel line. I know the 400s are indestructible, but how are these 125s? Would this be a pretty safe buy?
