Not sure what you're asking. Are you looking for advice to shop for a bike for him, or just asking if his 125 will spank your 220?

In the woods you'll roast him. On a track he'd have an advantage. Mostly it'll come down to rider. Boring the carb and modding your head will give you a lot more over-rev, which would help immensely in a heads up between the two bikes.

I've had both bikes. It would be very close. The 125 would "feel" faster, and may well win, but it would be close.

If you mean seat height, I think the 125 was a bit taller. It depends on the year and it will depend on suspension set up a bit

Tell him to make up his own mind or research on a non KDX site.
