as a stock bike the type-r is better and worth the $200, you get kenda tires, better exhaust, claimed better forks, a better BUT still generic rear shock, oil cooler which is actually a downgrade for a stock 125.cc engine... that's about it really
but if you want a better bike you should get the 125rr and upgrade it yourself with quality parts
or even better get a dhz140 for 1k for the ultimate win
