Default Best Bike for me???

Hi, I'm new to this site so bear with me. I am thinking about getting a Dual purpose bike. This will be my first bike ever. I have narrowed it down to two bikes, the Suzuki Drz400s or the Yamaha Xt225. I want a bike for riding/exploring tight trails and just cruising down dirt roads> I am about six foot three inches tall and about two hundred and fifty pounds> I realy do not want to pay fifty five hundered dollors for a (toy) Dose the XT have enough power for someone my size to realy use it down tight trails? The DRZ sure looks tall and bulky to be going down real tight trails> I do not need to go all that fast either: forty is faster than I need to go>
