too big in power or too big in size?

 

[rmc_olderthandirt]

the 250 will be a bit too much power for a beginner and the frame size might be a tad tall for your size.

The YZ80, on the other hand, is too small.

If you want two stroke then I would recommend either a 125 cc, which will be a full size frame, or a 100cc bike which should be smaller than a 125 but larger than an 80.
