You might want to wait more than 50 minutes before getting impatient on an answer.

Both the YZ-85 and TT-R125L would be on the small side for you but could be made to work with a few modifications. Given that you have no experience on a bike I'd suggest a TT-R125L or TT-R125-LE that model is the big wheel version and it will be a little taller. From there you would want to look into a taller handlebar like the Renthal Mini-Hi bar to help make it more roomy.

If you had more experience I'd likely suggest looking at the Kawasaki KDX200 or KDX220 for the type of riding you are considering as they are full size bikes that you would not outgrow very quickly.
