[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1391153, member: 18302"] 125 race bikes are not good beginner bikes, IMO. I'm sure many have 'jumped in the deep end' and learned to ride on them, but it's not the best choice for most new riders. But at your size and age (maturity) it's probably worth a shot. Just be patient, and don't get too aggressive until your skills improve. Detuning is not commonly done. I guess it could work, but it's not going to be easy to get a little bit of nice smooth beginner friendly power out of a full race 125. If you are easily intimidated or will get frustrated by crashes that you would not have on a true beginners bike, you could pick up a more beginner friendly bike, learn on it for a few months, re-sell it for close to what you paid, and save the CR125 for when you have learned the basic skills.
