is there any young person a 125 2 stroke isnt perfect for? id get a 125 2 stroke, but everyone here loves 4 strokes, so theyll tell you to get a 250

I think that a 250 would be a big bike for a starter, learn on small then go big.

But a two stroke bike like a 125 is not good for learning to ride trails.

If he never rode an the power band hits on a 250 it could be alot to handle, it all depends on the person. Some can handle it and some can't. You could always trade up. Just my humble opinion.
