Hi guys,
I've decided my new bike is likely going to be the KTM125sx (no particular reason, just thought it would be fun to be different). Testing one isn't an option, I'm to far away from the dealer to just look, and don't know anybody with one, so I'm looking for advice.
The problem I have with it is the specs on seat height and ground clearance.
The 2002 KTM125sx lists the seat height and ground clearnace as 36.4" and 15.2"
The 2002 YZ125 shows up with
39" and 15.7"
Given that they mostly share the same ground clearance, the KTM has to be almost 3" shorter from the pegs to the top of the seat... That sounds like a recipe for a cramped riding style, especially as I'll be coming from the YZ in the first place.
Anybody notice this or have any comments? I guess I want the KTM, but am understandably concerned.
