you have no experience....yet ur going right onto the track.....interesting.....well if your dad is buying it for you idk get something u can grow into but that you can handle...125s are kind of a handful sometimes if you have no experience.....i would just find some bikes to test if friends have them and what not to see what you really like.

yeah i have driven friends... i really like the YZ-85 but im not sure if that is good for track

Well, if you don't have any experience with bikes, or clutches, for that matter, I suggest you look at a XR100R or TTR125L to start. This will be great for learning the basics, and you can pick one up used for a decent price then sell it again for close to the same as you paid for it. After you've got the basics down, look at a CR85R, YZ85, KX85 or RM85 (pick your colour). I'd recommend the KX or RM over the YZ/CR because the KX and RM have powervalves, which smoothes out the power. I caution you against trying to learn on a race bike (CR/YZ/KX/RM).

Yeah i agree with SpeedyManiac. Dont get into the mindset of buying one bike (your first never the less) and keeping it for a really long time and using it for the track. At your age, by the time you are ready to compete, you might have already outgrown the bike you first selected.
When purchasing, buy a bike that will be good to learn on rather than something that would be good once you learn. You will become more experienced with less time and make less mistakes

if you have no riding experience...then why did you put you own a ttr-125?
