I have an 87 ATC 125m & the forks are bent. What options are there to straighten them?

Nice 87'. On my 110 the forks were bent, I was told to stand it up and get some pipes and pry up on them (bad idea I would think)...so I went and bought another set of forks for $35. Try finding a cheap set locally or on ebay, I think any forks from a 90-125 will work.

Those are a piece of cake to fix on a hydraulic press. Even easier to fix than a suspended front end.....

yup i had that problem on my 185s, took em to my friends fathers place and used a small press he had, took all of 15 mins to get them straight as can be. If you don't know anyone with one try some local automotive shops, most have a press and could probably do it for you for a few $
