Cool goodluck. I've read that crossers are very fun & very reliable but if you wanted speed then something like a rs-125 or Mito. Up to you really as there 2 diffrent type of bikes.

Imo you'll have more fun on a 125 trail bike than a 'sport' 125. An off-road style bike has still got lots of street cred, can do pretty much everything a 125 road bike can do and more! A fairing is more for looks than practical reasons on a 125 because of the relatively low speed and you shouldn't have any real problems with tyre grip on a little trail bike. The only let down is the fact that off-road style bikes are very prone to get stolen. I had a great little Kawasaki KMX125R a couple of years ago that I'd de-restricted so it was capable of over 85 mph with no problems. However, it got nicked by thieving toe rags. I had used it for commuting the 50+ mile round trip to work comprising A-roads and motorways and also for fun at the weekends on B-roads and green laning.
As stated before the choice at the end of the day is up to you. Go with your heart!
