Best crossbike for my size and age?

Question

whats the best cross bike out there for a 14 year old. i have a KTM 85 SX. i was wondering if there was a better brand or model for cross bikes?

Answer 1

KTM's in my opinion are probably the best dirtbikes out there.  Depends on how tall you are, when i was 14  im 15 now i rode a Yamaha YZF 250-4 stroke.  It was a pretty big bike.  I also had a YZ 125- 2 stroke  it was a bit smaller and alot faster than the 4 stroke.   Again depending how tall you are and how much power you can handle get a KTM 125 sx or a 144sx.

Answer 2

im a die hard Kawasaki but right now i think ktm makes a dam.n good bike but for alot of money...Yamaha makes good bikes to but stear like pigs(ur 14 with experience or no experience that makes all the difference)I ride a yz250f and i love it but i also have an kx85 which is pretty dam.n fast for a 2 stroke...just go get a friend or parent find some money and go find a bike one size to big cuz ul grow into it faster than u think

Answer 3

you have the best bike in that class, so have fun

Answer 4

There is nothing wrong with the bike you have and many kids I know would have loved a ktm but just could not afford them.  You don't say how tall you are and how much you weigh but you have a couple more years being able to race the 85cc so as long as you have not outgrown it then that bike is fine.  If you have outgrown it then you could look at a 4 stroke 250cc.  My son has the crf250r and it is a good bike and many of the guys on answers like the 2008 model kx250 and keep telling me they are the best bike for 2008.
