yeah, but also remember 250's are lower than 125's..

you're fine, my friend got his when he was about 5-3-1/2 and my other buddy rides a class district six on 125 and is only 4-9-1/2!!!
and he's great too:eek2:

My Cr250 is all the way lowered for my height:D I fit perfect on it. great fealing bike. anyways it doesnt matter if your small once you get going your all good. my friend just bought a Rm125 huge mother Fer. He stopped on a little hill and went to put his foot down and couldnt touch and fell:p :p it was pretty funny. When i had my KX i didnt have it lowered and the only trouble was starting it becuz i would get unbalanced sometimes and almost fall. Lower the bike!!!!!!! and you will be fine./:)

yup carmichaels bike got alot of sag and stuff into it so its alot lower than a stock 250. a stock 125 will be hard for you to get on...but u can still ride it if u can get on :blah

dude get a 125, as long as your strong enough to hold it up with 1 foot your fine, you only have to hold it when your stoped, u ever seen how small most the freestylers are, when they sit stil the got to like put there thigh on the seat and get half way off to hold hte bike, the 80 will be fine for you til you want more power, o and did i mention my kx is for sale:D :blah

you should be ok. once you get on it the suspension sags down anyways. i thought the same thing when i got on my friends bike but when your on it, it doesnt seem so big and for standing you only need one foot on the ground anyways.
