250 2 stroke will come flying out from in between your legs lol, it really is that much of a monster, but a 250f would be good. I weight 173 and I ride a yz 125 and i love it and my friend rides a 250f and it just seems easier to ride. The 125 will make you a better rider i feel because of the constant clutching involved and that you have to keep it on high rpm's for it to run efficiently keeping you on your toes and Honestly at your stage you really dont need anything bigger. Once you start taking advantage of those bikes (which is really hard) like bubba stewart does THEN maybe you should consider getting a bigger bike but other than that at your weight and height i think either a 250F or 125
