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.
No I have a KTM 125 2 stroke and I have had one thing after another break on it. The service at the KTM dealer I have to go to "Evansville Super Bike" is terrible, they will never give you a straight answer and getting something fixed literally takes 5 months. BEWARE NEVER BUY A KTM!!!!!!!!!. Stick to Honda for hassle free riding.
the ktm 105 is way faster that a ttr
The KTM 105 is a good bike if you are transferring from a medium sized 4 stroke to your first 2 stroke. It has plenty of power. If you ride hard you might be better of going for a 125 you will be able to ride it longer.
