Kawasaki Ninja 125 opinion, other suggestions?

Is it easy to ride a Ninja if you're 175cm tall? I'd like to buy one soon with my A1 license, but I'm a bit unsure, especially since the top speed is only 118km/h. I also had the Yamaha YZFR R125, but it feels like everyone else has that. I wanted something different visually; orange and that doesn't appeal to me at all, and I really like the sporty look. I haven't found out about the technology etc. yet, so I wanted to get your rough opinion. I'd especially like to go on bends, will it be up to that? And I've heard a few disadvantages with the throttle… otherwise, I'd be happy to hear other recommendations, except for! Supermotos! I don't like them at all. Naked not so much either.
