I have a XR100R right now...But i want a bigger bike.

Well.. In my personal opinion, you are just a bit short for a 125.. Allthough I seem to see alot of people at this forum reccomend that you get a big bike, since some people like it that way, but personally, I like for the bike to be just right on me. And at 5'2, I think you might have alot of trouble on it. But who knows, go to the dealer and sit on one if you really have your heart set on it. I ride a 125 and I am 5'11 and I feel it is just about perfect for me.

Also consider either the Kawasaki KX100 and the Suzuki RM100. You could always eventually bore the engines out to around 120cc+ for about the same price difference eventually.

I personally think that a CR125R will be too big for you. If you ride an XR100R right now, check out maybe a KX100, at the biggest. Sure, you may be a good rider on an XR100R, but full size bikes are completely different animals. You're XR makes about 6 hp, a CR125R makes more than 30. It also weighs around 60lbs more. Do yourself a favour and look at the KX100 or CR80 Expert.
