    Ok.

    Now I would suggest a 2 stroke 125 if your a beginner/novice or a 250 if you have quite a bit of experience. The 2 stroke is way easier/cheaper to maintain and to me is much more fun.
    I have a KTM 250 sx but it has an xc tank and 18" rear wheel which essentially makes it an xc model. It has plenty of low end power and is incredible off road.
    just some ideas.

    is that going to be enough power for me do you think? because i really only wanna make one purchase. i know how to ride. and in the learning curve(really short for me) i can take it easy on a bigger big if it need be

    If you know how to ride, than I would go for a 250 2 stroke, but see if you can test ride one before committing to it, maybe a friend can let you ride theirs? They are definitely much different than a 4 stroke.
