For racing DEFINETLY these bike are THE BEST, they are ready to race. Another choice could be a rm 85 suzuki but you would have to spent alot of money to get the bike up to the ablity of the KTM. and if you spent this money on doing up the KTM and no one on the race track would have a chance. if you are considering buying a ktm 85 a good tuning part is the 33mm carb and upgraded induction kit which incudes v force reeds, Also a FMF fatty pipe and fmf powercore 2 would increase power silencer and get some twinair air filters and ozzo oversize water pumps. also ktm have a sxs cdi box which increase power and torque. All of these things should increase power highly but also if you want to jump some SHMX forks or BUD Suspension or full travel.
Hope this helps.
KTM 85cc ownz any bike out there, if you cant get, suzuki for second. I agree with the first guy but parts are extremely hard to find so go with something more like the suzuki or the new Honda crf150. High perfomance and theyl eat up a 85 two stroke.
well i have a ktm 85sx small wheel. if you want to know the best 85cc bike its the ktm 85sx. its so much more powerful than the rm 85l and the rm85. It is leathel! but then again it cost about six grand. but you wont be dissapointed because with power like this youll be hanging on. For trail though i would still recomend the sx. it gets out of tight spots with ese. any way if you have the money and are looking for a 85cc get a ktm sx but it is for the more advanced riders. the rm is more of a begginer motorcross bike if u get it stock. hope i helped!
It can go 60 mph.
the ktm 85sx. it beats all of the others
the ktm 250f is the best and fastest bike u can get
KTM!!!
For 2008, KTM won the 85cc shootout, however there are more things to consider than someones opinion on what bike is best. Pick a bike that suits your riding style and size. Also, it doesn't matter how good a bike is, if you don't have a shop to help you with getting parts and technical knowledge, your bike is just another bike.
65cc: ktm and kawasaki are best 85cc: Honda, ktm and Yamaha are best 125cc: Yamaha and suzuki are best 250cc: Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda are best 450cc: Honda, kawasaki and Yamaha.
ktm dont suck they got all hydraulic clutches and brakes so who put that is dumb. a ktm 85cc will go bout 65-70.
For motocross no, for offroad YES. Well then what is the best bran?
KTM
ktm is way better than Yamaha........ the ktm 85 sx is probably the best bike in the world
