yes start with something small then work your way up
well, you don’t really say what you would use it for.
commuting? probably fine on back roads, i don’t imagine a 125 would go much faster than say 50 mph
highway? i doubt it
i don’t have much exp with bikes but i do troll these here forums pretty well! =]
from what i have heard, most people get tired of 250’s within a year, let alone a 125 which is the equivalent of a dirt bike i believe. but the absolute biggest thing is to go with what your comfortable on, the biggest thing is safety. If you learn the fundamentals on something small then you’ll be alive and prepared for a more powerful bike when you decide to upgrade.
edit- also, i know pretty much everyone on the mc ask forums always says this, but after taking the msf course i realize how right they were, sign up to take the msf course, they teach you EVERYTHING you need to know to ride smart and safe. before taking the class i had never picked up a bike, by the end of the class i had the second best score in class on the driving test, the instructors were so helpful.
you will be tired of that bike in 2 days! Not much power for a full grown man.
ok i own a street bike as well (GSX-R1000) and i also own a DR-Z 125 and a RM250 and i find my self riding my 125 more off road that anything i think u would like a 125 more than any other dapends on how much u ride
consider the ninja 250…… little faster, cheaper, still good starter bike and looks like a super bike so the chicks don’t laugh
Get something bigger, I reckonmend a 600 naked bike, the 250 ninja’s and crap and underpowered.

im 15 and a 125 is to small for me so i would go with the 250
and trust me you wont get sick of it maybe scard of it but not sick of it just dont stop if you crash (with in reson dont try riding with cast or 2)
