I like the YZ better because I am pretty sure that KTM does not run a linkage in the rear suspension. And I think KTM is kinda over rated. If your a skilled rider then you don't need a 7000 dollar STOCK dirt bike:rolleyes: :)

Id go with the KTM, it has more power than any of the 125's.

I mean, 19 extra CC's make a huge difference on a 2-smoke...
:blah:

Ya I hope it ain't LOL.:p You will just have to go 1 footed. My buddy who's like 5' 9" had to go one footed on his old yz 250, when he went to kick it over he had to jump up off the bike and kick the thing cause there was so much compression to start it:eek2:

It might be until you grow some more. My buddy had a YZ125 and he was 5'6"...

We noticed a big diifference when he got his crf250r...we had to hold his bike up for him:blah:

Go with the YZ. KTMs do not have rear linkage. And a 125 would be a little big but you'll get use to it.
