    I'd look into a 250 2 stroke, or a comparable 4 stroke.

    250 2 stroke is a bad idea if you're just starting

    Depends. I started out on a 250, and within a few months, traded to a YZ490....That was years ago though, but for a 200+ pound person, depending on the use, you could grow out of a 125 pretty quickly.

    there in the same class, but the 250f would be better for someone your size.
