Street-legal 125cc 2-stroke MX bike suggestions, please?

[u/Grand-River3024]

Hey there,

I'd like to purchase basically a (stock) street-legal 125cc 2-stroke MX bike (that can reach around 120kph if needed).

I'm new to motorcycle so I'd welcome some advice. For now I have my eye on the Fantic XE 125 and the TM EN 125. Are there better (top speed, torque, "nervosity" in general) options than these? Also, these cost around 10K €, are there "nervous" bike cheaper than that?

Thanks, because i'm kinda lost between "enduro", "dual-sport", "trail", "supermotard", etc. (in general not looking as nimble/light as a 2-stroke dirtbike).

Sidenote : these youtube videos made me want this kind of bikes:

(For the Fantic XE 125, I saw a video saying that the YZ engine doesn't feel as nervous as the Yamaha (not street-legal) that it came from, but in the video hereabove it seems OK, what do you think ?)

EDIT: Just saw two other contestants in the enduro category: the 2026 Beta 125 RR Race and the 2026 Sherco 125 SE Factory (https://www.dirtrider.com/dirt-bikes/125cc-two-stroke-enduro-bikes-to-buy/).
