2 stroke wise...125cc, brand doesn't matter, unless you notice differences. so pick a colour and go.

4 stroke wise...i dont really know much about so you'd be better off asking someone else.

sweet... would a 2 stroke 125 require a lot of maintenance? and how insane would a powerband like that be on trails?

It would be ok in the woods, if you have good throttle control. If you want a bike that works well on the track, you will sacrifice some 'woods friendly' manners. KTM200 is a wonderful woods bike. It's not as good on an mx track as a mx 125 though.

if your doing alot of woods riding personally i think the 125 will get boring quick, especially at your size.
