Choose the bike that you get the best deal on and spend a few bucks setting it up for you. But after my last year with a KTM i would recommend you trying something else, i blew up my forks countless times, and zero help from KTM themselfs. But after my last year with a KTM i For years and years people always wanted racers that are close as possible to "WORKS" as possible but have no idea how much work goes into maintaining and keep the bike going including buying spare parts.
Unless your getting a bike for free go with what fits you the best and the best deal you can get. Sadly, no I weigh 70kg pounds isch? Seriously our jumps here in sweden are smaller than the ones at palas vet track, so i litterally havent got a clue how my clusterfuck of a fork kept doing this.
Sold the bike after 40 hours, and somewhat of 30 fork-breakdowns Sadly, my dad really is one of the greatest mechanics in sweden and has over 30 years of experience in automotive and motorcycle repair and rebuilds, he is also a former swedish motocross champion so he actually know a few things himself.
So both him and a company that specializes in suspension tried but couldnt get it fixed, and after a couple of breakdowns the fork was thrashed inside, actually dont know what they did to be able to sell it, but i havent heard anything from the buyer, yet Vital MX - Motocross.
