i think u will outgrow that bike very quickly and will want to upgrade to something with a little more power. if your weight is less than 140lbs, i guess a ~300cc bike would be alright, but if u weigh more than that, i would highly recommend getting something 600cc. gsxr600 are pretty sturdy bikes and can take a good beating if you ever intend on stunt riding. theyre also very torque-y. if you want something more nimble and maneuverable, maybe a cbr600rr, and if u want something all around balanced, r6 or zx6r are nice. watever bike you decide to get tho, id highly recommend getting a steering damper. you do not want to experience tank slap.
Honestly, i think i'll stick with the 125 for a couple years. If this one breaks or, does get boring, i don't think i'll upgrade to much more until i'm 21 and/or i need a bigger bike. A 125 will get to and from work and college just fine, aswell as commuting to other places if i was to go and see people. So upgrading to a bigger bike for the sake of getting a bigger bike, to me, seems like a waste. However, i say this now, once i've got my 125 and have had it for a year or two, my opinion may change, and i end up getting a bigger bike anyway.
