Hello TGHUN71 - I'm yet another (nearly) 37 person to throw advice at you.

Have a go on the bigger 500 first - if you feel comfortable on it then go the DAS route and don't bother with the 125. You should get used to a 500 quite quickly (couple of hours). Controlling a bigger bike at slow speed is trickier.

If you don't feel comfortable then stick with the 125. I did Honda 125 CBR for 1 year (bought it for 1400 - sold it for 1250) and it taught me alot. Also how do you anticipate using your bike - daily commute? dual carridgeway sprint? motorway? If it's city commute then stick with a 125.
