when i made the move from my rm 80 to the YZ125, i was 11 or 12 years old at about 5'0, 120 pounds. the bike was tall, and i could barely touch the ground, but the power was quite manageable. quickly as i could get more money together (lots of grass-cutting) i was already buying an fmf pipe, silencer, and reeds to get more power out of it. i checked your profile and, judging by your age, you will quickly outgrow the kx 100 and find yourself dumping money into engine mods, wishing you had gotten the 125. i'd go with what other guy says and just trim the seat down and maybe reduce the spring preload at the rear shock, which'll also reduce the seat height. Get the 125, trust me.
