XR200 or the CRF 230 would be better for trail riding- you would love the e-start on the 230.
Small 2 strokes do not go slow- they want to be WFO all the time- great on a track, not so good in the woods.
Trail riding typically menas riding on trails that you have not seen before- which means the bike has to be reactive to sudden changes in elevation or sharp corners- and many times you will want to stop and think about how to tackle an obstacle- on a small 2 stroke stopping to think is the kiss of death- you have to stay on the pipe and make decisions on the fly , if you pick a bad line you are committed.
To me that is not fun, especially for someone who is just starting to ride.
I have a KTM 300 and a 620, I can actualy have a blast on my wifes slow heavy XT225. Yes the suspension is not so good but it is a lot of fun. and that is what trail riding is all about, having fun- I do not think you will have fun on a small 2 stroke - at fisrt. maybe when you are a little taller and have the reactions and skills to read the trail and keep the bike on the pipe, a 2 stroke will be a blast- but to start out a 4 stroke will be more fun
