You should be fine on a 125, but it all depends on your skill level.

The Schooboy class is for 12-15 years - there are 12-year olds that are 5 feet, 90 pounds that race 125s and 250Fs. 15 on an 80! Yea right...

You might not want to do that.........After 22 years off of a bike I sold my 400ex to get my KTM 300exc, and I have been doing really good at keeping a good pace and stuff, but the injuries from some crashes have been far more numerous than what I ever got from my 400ex. I am still nursing bruised ribs for 6 weeks now.:ermm:
But you are younger than my 34 year old self too so I'm sure that will make it a bit different for you. Good luck in whatever you do, and BE CAREFUL!:cool:

I was the same size as you when I had my cr80 expert and I was almost to big for it, your going to get hurt, lay it down etc your first few weeks and from then on laying it down happens alot.

ride both if ya can :p
