Whatever you do, don't listen to the idiots that say it's about the color and the price. All bikes ARE different. Those should be the last two deciding factors when you buy a dirt bike. Do some major research, each manufacturer makes different styles of bike for different types of riding. I.E. Yamaha makes the YZ line for track riding, The TTR line for trail riding, And the WR line for desert/adventure riding. These bike lines can cross over and be ridden in the other environments but they are engineered to excel in those specific areas. Each manufacturer, as a generalization, has different riding characteristics in their bikes. Some feel like they turn easier than others. Some feel like they start faster than others. Etc.
Each manufacturer also makes many different size engines, from a small 50cc(cubic centimeter) to upwards of a 650cc.
Do your research. Figure in your weight, where you are going to be riding the most, and experience. Not necessarily in that order. Don't be afraid to go to several dealerships and ask questions. Find the bike that fits you and your needs. In the end you will have a much better experience and come back to ride again and again.

Sort of depends on your experiance and preferences. If you are an experianced rider with a good deal of money looking for sort of an adventure bike that you can ride then KTM is the way to go. I know no other style of riding a dirt bike so if any other brand has a niche fills you up right - go with them then ;).
Less experianced riders who are looking to learn: buy whatever you can find cheap and used that runs (four stroke preferable for beginners).

It all depends on the individual condition of the bike. All the bikes are pretty much the same, although I prefer honda.

either honda or ktm. ktm's are expensive but really nice. and honda's are probably the best bike for the money. ive had suzukis and ridden yamahas, and i cant find a bike that beats any of my hondas.
