Kali, like my post said, the board has posted very good advice and the recommendations are exeptionally notable. What I see is a young man that is very excited about a motorcycle and probably wanted to hear something else!! Weve all been young before and at times its hard to convey the best advise when someone has their mind set on something other than what is more reasonable, or user freindly in this case. On the other hand, I dont see that diminishing his enthusiasm,(calling him a squid) is of any great benefit. I agree that it is frustrating when advice is given and none is taken, but thats what makes a great forum. We all have different views and outlooks and I believe if this young man wants to start riding and wants the KTM like it appears he does, then all the power to him. I applaud him and hope he has a great time riding. Who knows, he may be the next MC or RC. ;) :)Originally posted by kalitude

Problem is he asked: "Is it a good beginner bike for casual and trail riding?" "Does it have good low end power? " He didn't ask, "Is this a good bike for me to use for MX racing?"
People answered his questions truthfully and thoughtfully and he didn't listen. It is not a good choice for a beginner to trail ride. But it seems he is really more of a squid than a dirtbiker. Why even ask if you have already made up your mind in your own head??
Nothing like a rapid 2stroke when your a kid;) ;) Or an adult as far as that goes!!!Originally posted by W.P.EXC
Jeez give the kid a break! Does anyone remember what it's like to be 15 and full of p&v? I trail rode a yz 125 for a long time around that age. It wasn't the best suited for trail riding but you couldn't have paid me to ride one of those sissy xr's, dr etc. Bottom line was the yz was a race bike that hauled ass, and at that age that's all that really mattered. I say go with the sx if that's want you want. Have you learned a lesson about asking advice? If you don't wanna hear then don't ask.
