KTM or any of the Japanese bikes are all good and really the best one for you would be the one you feel most comfortable and confident on. To say more than that is just preference based on how someone else feels on their bike.
Spend the time to go to dealers and sit on them yourself and one of them will stand out for you…

The ktm in the 65cc and 85cc bikes are the best straight off the shelf and not as much needs to be done to them to get them race ready. So if it is ktm you like then go for it.
The kx is easier for a beginner
The cr and yz have a ton of top end power, but the yz is a better bike than the cr.
Just google reviews on the bikes as it also comes downt to what year you buy.
Any of these bikes are good for racing and what it really comes down to is how you set the bike up to race as unless you know what to do for different tracks and to suit your own weight and style then you will not be as successful.
A good rider can win on any of the 2 stroke 85cc bikes
