hey!! im a 13yr old 100lb girl rider. ive been ridin for about 5 yrs. up until last year i was riding 50s too. now i have a TTR125 LE (yamaha) i love it i can keep up to most of my friends and its a very solid bike. (it feel off a cliff, all that happened was the handelbars were bent, and i can still ride it just a couple weeks later). but i really depends on wat yopur comfortable with. my twin sis ride too but she prefers smaller bikes so whenever she rides she rides my brothers ttr90, even though its not as fast, she likes it because she dosent like to use the clutch which is on my bike. but really if u want a honda id get a cr100. i personally like yamahas better though its a great bike to learn how to us a clutch on.

To answer your question, I'm assuming at 105lbs your around the 5'-5'5 range.  If thats the case, I would go with something along the lines of a CRF100, CRF150, TTR-125, DRZ125, or KLX125.  Maybe even a CRF80.  My wife is 5'2, 105lbs and rides a CRF100.  It was a great learning bike, but the suspension isn't that great.  BBR makes great springs though for a fairly cheap price.  $79 for new fork springs and $89 for a rear shock spring and both increase stiffness by 30%.
