Everybody seems to recommend CG125's, I would never recommend a particular bike. The best thing to do is go to some dealers and try out various bikes for comfort. I always wonder why people want 125's when 9 times out of ten they pass their test and then want a bigger bike. Why not save your money, do the cbt and das on a "big" bike then the choice is much wider for a bike that is comfy and practical. Either way best of luck and welcome to the wonderful world of bikes!!

CG125's etc are pretty small so you shouldn't have a problem. However, if you're really worried, any of the 125 cruisers will be even closer to the ground.
