I learned how to ride a 500cc 2 stroke dirt bike when I was 13 years old... Yes I did have some prior experience of riding, but seriously, just start slow and work your way up to your comfortable riding speed/skill. I rode in first gear for a bit before I even dared moving into the higher gears, keeping the mentality that the bike rides ME. Since it was so powerful.

Seriously, if a 13 year old kid can slowly learn how to ride a 500..(with a bad clutch) What makes you think a grown adult, (who learned the basic functions on a friends bike prior; like in my post) can't learn to handle a 250?

I never said that it was a beginner bike, but it would save him the time of buying a bike that he would end up selling within a half a year, if perhaps he wanted to move on to a more powerful bike. Starting here, and learning slowly and don't ride beyond your limit. Most asinine idea/advice known to man? Really? 
I've skydived 3 times before I've even turned 18 (NOT tandem). I think there are more stressful things in life than SLOWLY learning how to ride a 250cc 2 stroke dirt bike.
