Alright so pulling the trigger in the next couple weeks on a new bike. I’m up in the air right now on either a yz125 or ktm 150sx. Both brand new off the showroom floor. Now keep in mind here that I am getting a great deal on the yz at under msrp otd and the ktm 150 is over msrp out the door. Right now about roughly 1500 bucks separating the two. Is the ktm worth the extra 1500 bucks? Or am I going to be perfectly happy with the yz125.. any input welcome
Thanks

Both great bikes but there shouldn't be that much of a price difference. I'd personally go with the KTM.

I am in exactly the same boat.
Desperately want to buy a small 2 stroke and tempted to go with the 125/150 ktm as I really don’t want to pay for a 18 YZ that is exactly the same as the last 10 years.
Hopefully Yamaha will bring a new 125 to the table that will be a very close to the ktm range.
The only reason I have not pulled the pin with ktm is that I am a little underwhelmed by the brand to be honest.
Kids have a 50sx mini and a 50sx and I am constantly pouring money into them, be the clutch, kickstart........ worst,of it I am really meticulous with them, and do all the basic maintenance after each ride and top ends done at dealers..
I always hear people saying that there is jetting issue with the ktm where as I never heard anything bad mechanically for the yz. I just want a bike that I can buy from the showroom, jump on it and play without having to worry about jetting or something else.
When is the 19 range schedule by any chance?
