If it is MX type bike, 250f, 450f, or 125/250 two stroke, keep in mind that the power to weight ratio compared to say a ninja 250r is very much in the favor of one of those dirtbikes.

The 250fs will make in the mid 30's HP and from a bike that weights a little over 200lbs

the 450f's peak can be in the 50hp range, again on a bike that weights just under 250lbs

So in all honesty, learning on something like the cbr250, or ninja 250 in a big open, no vehicle parking lot, might be safer, better, easier than jumping on a full MX bike on top of learning on an actual street bike

Keep that in mind

have fun

I think the strongest one he has is a 125cc two stroke but I won't be riding that. He has 3 and is going to put me on the smallest one. So I won't be on something that's ridiculously fast. He might even start me on one with no clutch and just a shifter pedal thing. But that might be too small for me. 5'7" and 155 pounds here.
