dude if your 6'5 forget the 125, you should be looking at least 250 or 450, the higher the seat the more bumps you will feel

If you're a beginner, get a 125. 6'5'' on a 125 can get squished at times, but if you're feeling too squished get taller seat foam.

1. Taller bars (with perhaps less bend) that are rotated up in the clamps
2. Adjustable clamps with risers and the clamp moved farthest forward
3. Foot pegs lower and to the rear (I've heard of this, but never looked into it)
4. Taller seat foam (adjusts the scrunched up feeling when sitting only - does not affect jumping comfort)
5. Buy a Honda!

(rider)
1. Elbows up
2. Not so far forward hunch

Doing both the bike mods and the rider mods together is about all you can do IMO.

Good luck.

id say get the yz, because 2 inches is more than you think it is when you sit on a bike, and yz's are good bikes
