[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 83414, member: 22283"] Sounds like you've decided to go with the 125sx despite what many here have said. I remember how it was to be young and excited. BUT...I also remeber how one little comment could send my youthful self into an immediate 180. Where I'm going with this is....go ahead and get the ktoomer but realize that no matter what the fella does at the dealer, that bike is going to sound sick on trails being ridden by a beginner. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you will be able to ride the bike. but the bike has no bottom end power and when you are putting around on a trail it sounds like it needs work. Gear change or not! The 125sx is one impressive bike in the mid and upper powerband, both performance and sound. But a trail bike, IT'S NOT! Best tip you can have now is to go ahead and ride the KTM but don't buy it till you have ridden a TTR, or an XR, or something that is made for what you are wanting to do. Smooth and predictable power delivery is very important when learing to ride. The KTM 125sx is strickly a race bike my good man. Whatever decision you make, remember to be careful and have fun. Dirt biking is one great sport done by lots of great folks. Most of the time you can take what folks say in a place like this to the bank, because it's usually the voice of experience. Patience is always a virtue and sometimes it pays off. Have fun and good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
