Looking to pick up a 2017 2 smoker but can't decide which one to get. Which bike will last me longer in the long run? I've heard the YZ is bullet proof, and the 150sx is super sick. I'll honestly get whatever bike will be more reliable.
Someone with a KTM will hopefully weigh in. But if it's 125 vs 150, I'd go with the 150.
The Shop
If you buy a YZ buy one from 2010 for half the price. No reason to drop $5k on a 10 year old bike.
Pit Row
The yz250 is known for third gear problems and breaking pistons if left too long but the yz125's are just bulletproof
I haven't rode the 150 but i had the chance to ride the 2018 125 and it is a better bike than the Yamaha in every way.
The SX 125 has a way better engine, it turns way better, has way better brakes and it has a way better clutch.
The suspension on the YZ is slightly better.
And it's not 2005, KTMs are not ticking time bombs.
