    sooooo u dont want another 250 cause its to big? or you think you can handle a 450?  i think another 250 is a good choice. cause heres the thing your kinda inbetween bike sizes here. a 125s to small you would get bored with that too fast and a 450 is to big for someone your size 250 ehh yeah it fits go for it bro

    125 too small? OMFG where do people get this idea? 125 is perfect for you, if only you were a little bit taller

    I think most people think 125's are small cause of the low cc count, my 125 is perfect for me and I'm about the same size as you, just a little older. I'm hunting for 250 4t just looking for a more modern set up and better power curve for me

    well an xr 500 and a 125 mx bike probably are pretty comparable when it comes to power to weight ratio. that combined with the nimble handling of the 125 you'll be smiling all the way to the end when ever you go riding

    Well actually in my experience 125s are slightly smaller and feel like they're meant for smaller riders.  The suspension is also softer than a 250 2t and they weigh alot less.

    140lbs is plenty light enough and 5' 6 is more than small enough.

    I'm 6'0 and 165lbs and my 99 yz 125 hauls me around fast enough to beat plenty of more powerful bikes.

    You at this time are litterally PERFECT for a 125.

    Small? erghhh, sorry to break it to you but 125's are the tallest bikes out there (for some brands at least) and the YZ's are actually .2" taller than the four fiddys. They ARE full sized, but you gotta wring the neck outta them to go somewhere

    A 125 2t, a 200 2t, or a 250F 4t will do you well. I am 220 lbs. and 6'2"+ and I still have plenty of fun on my 2006 YZ125. I agree with NZ, where do people get the idea that a 125 is no fun, too slow, under powered, etc.?

    Probably people that don't like to rev the balls off of their bikes.  I rev the hell out of my KX 125 and I love it it's really fun, but I still want more power.
