[QUOTE="Chili, post: 1372013, member: 29892"] As far as smaller, both the YZ and the SX are full size bikes, the Yamaha actually sits a half an inch taller. Yes the KTM has an extra 20cc (it's actually a 144) but that would not be my deciding factor as you could make the YZ a 144 for a reasonable sum of money later if you decided to upgrade. For me the absolute reality in this decision is that the original KTM144SX that has now been rebadged as the 150SX have been a reliability nightmare since their release in 2007. I'm in agreement with aweebitofjt69 in questioning the need to go with a new 09 for close 6k? The YZ is essentially unchanged since 2005 and you could likely find a near new 05-08 for peanuts. This would leave you all sorts of left over dollars to go with the big bore 144 should you wish to do so, it also keeps your initial investment in the sport down if you find you don't enjoy it as much as you anticipated. This is an important factor because the harsh reality is 6 months after buying that $6k 125 you'll be lucky to sell it for $3500. You don't list a location but here is an example of the kind of bargains you can find on the used market [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=169029[/url] [/QUOTE]
