i would say a 125 2t cuz a 250 2t is very powerful for a beginner. though they do make ok bikes for beginners ya just gotta be careful about nailing the throttle.

a yz250F would be ok but always be a little wary of used thumpers cuz they need a lot of work and if the person didnt do anything for it then it can be in bad shape.
