I see no harm in you taking an extra step before going to a 250; not even your wallet.
BTW, 250 may not sound big in numbers, but for the inexperienced or unskilled, it CAN still be a lot of bike for someone. Go 125, and who says you're not gonna have fun. That's bullshit. Riding is fun whether you're in Grom or in a litre bike. just each riding is a different kind of fun on its own.

Thanks Noir. The most common thing I hear is "get a 250 or a 400, you'll get bored with the 125 really fast." (and no morgan it's not just dale that said that, although he's finally ridden a 125 and thinks it'd be perfect for me now).
I wouldn't mind a Grom, but they're a lot more expensive than a cbr 125 and price point is important to me as well as being comfortable on it. I'm glad to know there's no real "right" answer in terms of what cc to start with.
I do have one more question though, in terms of conquering my fear of two wheels; would riding on the back of a bike before learning to ride be a bad idea? My main concern would be having a panic attack or something and causing an unbalance on the bike that ultimately ends in an accident. Or am I just overthinking it and worrying about stuff that probably wouldn't happen?
And Morgan the only reason you want me to get a Grom is because you want to ride it
