The KTM has the frame from the EXC125 and this makes it much more fun than the bigger ones.
For begginers and smaller framed people I think all the bike makers are off the mark. A competent woods bike(good handling and suspension) with a seat height under 35 inches and wheelbase under 55 inches weighing under 215 pounds would appeal to most offroad riders at some point in their riding careers. All the bikes that fit those criteria are either under sprung, over weight, under powered, or too race oriented. Who wouldn't want a play bike with a 34 inch seat height, 55 inch wheelbase, 10-11 inches of suspension, torquey bullet proof motor, and weight under 200 pounds?
