i found a ktm dealer near me and was wondering if ktm brand is better than yamaha or honda? i was looking at their 105 2stroke and looks pretty good. what do yall think about this, if not im going to get the 85 expert from honda or the yz85 from yamaha. please leave more than one suggestion.

Your frame (leg length arm length etc.) is going to be too big for a CR85 Expert or YZ85...
The KTM 105 might be a good starting bike for you, but I'd really suggest an older Honda CR 125. The KTM parts are quite a bit more expensive, and you will be able to find a used CR125 for much cheaper than a 105.

i rode a Kawasaki for a year and a half and went to a KTM...and I've loved every minute of it...from the high riser bars to the overall look...the Ktm just feel so much better and smoother...prob wouldn't go back...Never really rode Honda or Yamaha...or Suzuki though so...but I'll give KTM a thumbs up from my experience
