Hi
I am looking to purchase a 125 and preferably a KTM or a Honda. I mainly ride bush and sometimes on a flat surface with little jumps. Would the KTM be betta for a surtain type of riding or will the KTM and the Honda do the same thing. Are there any betta things on the KTM or on the Honda, if there is please write it down and let me know.
Thanx Mitch  

i don't know about those ktm's? the only knowledge that i have about them is their street bikes. like, road touring bikes. i'm not so hyped on that no linkage suspension either. i've read people either love it, or they hate it. so who knows? honda makes good bikes though.

KTMs aren't street bikes o.O ... they do make a few street legal bikes. but they are mostly offroad bikes. and KTMs shine their brightest when you get their suspension dial in right.  KTMs are generally a little bit more expensive because they come with a lot of after market parts stock hence their motto "Ready to Race". they make a solid bike, i love mine.

I'd go with honda.We've had ktm's and they sucked.

KTM is known to make very good trail and woods bikes. I prefer a sx bike in the woods
And would look hard at a KTM 125SX.
Are we talking brand new? Get yourself down to the dealers and sit on both and get the price situation in mind.  

HI
I'm looking second hand in a KTM 125SX and i am mainly riding through bush and sometimes on flat ground with little jumps. Do you suggest that the KTM 125SX would be a good bike for that sort of riding or do you suggest the Honda CR125.
Thanx Mitch  

KTM would be great for that i use my 125 SX pretty much 50/50 Woods/track its a lot of fun. an 05 or newer KTM is your best choice as well.

hondas have weeker motors but have a liiiitle better handeling. ktm's have kickas motors and are easy to work on, but the handeling is a little harder to get used to, but not much  

thanks twist for the awesome pic

HI Lazzoro
Thanx for your oppinion on the KTM and I think after hearing all the gewd feed bak from others about KTM's i will now buy a second hand 125 SX no later than 05 model....
Regards Mitch  

HI Woodsrider Adam
Thanx for what you said about the KTM's because I am now going to buy one. I agree that KTM's have great motors and i also agree on what you said about Honda's not having a very strong motor because my Honda CR 80 BW just blew up, because the Piston wasn't strong enough and it broke.  

regards mitch

oh ur so polite  

Hi Woodsrider Adam
Thanx for your info on the KTM's i am now going to get one. I agree that they have a very strong motor and I havn't heard any bad news about KTM's. Honda motors are not built very strong because my CR80BW just blew up because the piston broke on one side and was cracking on the other...
Thanx Mitch  

HEY MITCH THE HONDA CR125 IS WAY BETTER THAN THE KTM OR YZ IM GETTING ONE IN JANUARY.    

I THINK YOU SHOULD GET A HONDA. AND WHEN ARE U GETTING THE NEW BIKE ANY WAY... MATT.  

Hey Matty Mul
I will be looking to see if i can get a KTM and if i can't find a gewd 1 for a gewd price i will just look for a honda cr 125. I will probz be gettin a 125 (KTM) in about another 6 months to a year???
