hey i am looking to get my first name brand quad and i like the ktm. the seat is as high as my waist. and i do not want to get a smaller bike that i will grow out of soon. so is this a good bike.  

Do you want a quad or a dirt bike? How old and tall are you? I love KTMs so I think ur on the right track there, but I need to know how big/old u are to give u a good idea.

13 and i am about 5'11. and i am looking for the dirtbike. 9i made a mistake sorry. my waist is the same height as the seatheight 35 inches  

Cool, I'm 14 and 5'8 and I ride a ktm 200EXC 2 stroke and a KX250. Since ur a beginner I'd recommend a KTM SX125. It's a little bigger and more powerfull than the 105 and it's really light and PERFECT for beginners and just right for ur size.

k so for like when i get off how would u suggest sice im gunna be on my tip toes. thx for the help so far  

Well, ur taller than I am I ride my 250 just fine. If ur on ur tiptoes, it doesn't really matter when ur riding because ur feet aren't on the ground except for when ur stopped. If u have to, lean to one side. But if u don't feel comfortable, get the 105. Since this is ur first bike, u don't want to get one ur not comfortable on. The 105 is also really fast too and u won't have to worry about not being able to touch the ground so u can focus more on riding.
