All I am saying is a 250 2 stroke is no joke. Not to mention a beginner could not ride it to its full potential. 125cc would satisfy him fine, I have friends that weigh the same and about the same height and they love riding theyre 125's shit Im almost that big and I have a blast on mine.

Lets throw him on a 2 stroke 500 I did that when I was younger scared the shit out of me.
