There are a lot of good used 125 two strokes that may be good but learning to ride on that could be tough. There are a lot of good entry level 4 strokes from Honda and Suzuki (like the DRZ line) that are beginner friendly but get limited if you want to get aggressive or jump. At 5'7" and 215lbs no matter what you get you would need stiffer springs. Most full size bikes are sprung for someone 180 or below. I had a DRZ250 that I really liked to play on at times. It wasn't as much fast as my race bike (YZ250F) but it was a lot of fun. Not a good jumper b/c it wasn't made for it but good for a weekend of trail riding. [/QUOTE]
