Those are the ones im leaning too, im 15, 5,5. By the time i have enough money around (1600$) probably next summer or spring i might be a bit taller so a 250 might be an option. I can just about tip toe them now.
Suzuki RM 125, Yamaha YZ 125, KTM 125sx or Suzuki Rm 250 which one?

Yes a 250 will be too much bike for you. Id lean on a 125.

With someone your size a 125 will go nearly anywhere as long as you can ride it. It'll teach you some important skills too like clutching it to stay in the powerband. The smooth 125 over rev is sweeeet too.

It's the power the motor makes after you rev past the peak horsepower. 125's tend not to fall off quickly so they still make smooth power even after the peak.

I would personally opt for the 250. there is no difference in seat height (or very little). 125's generally get rode a lot harder

My 14 yr old son has a CR 125... Great bike, they are all good. And for a first time bike, thats enough power for sure.

yea by the time i buy my bike which will be in a year/ couple months i will probably be a bit taller. We will see.....
I agree most 125s and 250 four strokes are owned by entry level riders who often neglect important maintenance that motocross bikes require. You will find 125s for sale with recently rebuilt motors but every bearing and bushing on the rest of the chassis is completely toast.
If you can when you're ready to buy try to get some seat time on a 250 and see if you like it.
