Welcome to the forum
To help answer your question, why kind of riding do you do? Is there anything your current bike isn't doing? I have a CRF450 and a gasgas280, but both of those are exceptionally powerful. However, neither one by itself covers the riding that I like.

The ttr 230 has extra oomph. I'm also a fan of the XT250 if you're into a dual sport option

Both good suggestions if you want to sick with Yamaha. If you are going dual purpose, then you may want to also look at the WR250R which will spank the XT250 beyond belief. The downside is of course the price, and the 37 inch seat height may be a little high for someone 5'5"...

The YZ250F great bike if you are looking for a MX bike. Are you looking for a MX bike? The TTR125 is a play bike and the TTR230 is probably more of a direct step up from what you have now.

Well then the YZ250F may be the bike for you.
Be careful, the bike is a beast compared to a the TTR125.
