I would have to say look for a 1998-99 CR250. I would have said a 125, but your weight would make that a frustrating endeavor through the woods. I'm a big guy too.6'5" 220lb, and i had a 01 cr125, and it ran ok, but wasnt near enough.Be careful though a cr250 is a very potent bike for some. At your age you will be growing into it nicely. Just take it easy, and learn the bike at first.
