    Im 5,5 and 13 years old, i have a ktm 85sx currently and im wodering if i should move up to a 125 because i feel that the 85 is lacking the power i want. Should i get one or hang on a bit?

    No.  5'9 is the bare minimum for a full-size bike.

    LOL really? who sets that rule?

    sit on one. if you feel you have enough reach to control the bike properly then go for it.

    bear in mind everything you ride from now till the rest of your life will eventually feel slow and that you need more power. at some stage you just have to settle for the power you have and learn to ride as fast as possible with the power you do have available.

    Trust me on this, you can ride a bike WAY better if you can actually push the bike back up while still moving.

    trust me on this, you can ride a bike alot better if you dont use your foot to push the bike up.

    Your first post said 5'-5"?

    As you stated, go look at some bikes and sit on all of them. Remember though, most likely there not set up for your height but you can set the sag which will help a lot.

    I just came back now from the shop and I sat on the KTM 125 and I was able to tip toe with both feet comfortably. I felt good on it,the bike did not feel like it was to heavy either so i really hope that i can get that soon.
