Default Our son's first dirtbike... HELP!!

We're trying to find a dirtbike for Christmas for our 13yr old son. He has very little riding experience but is quite smart and caught on to shifting gears on the quad quite well. What size bike would everyone suggest? He's 5'8 weighs around 100lbs. Would a 200 or 250 be too much bike for him? I was riding a 250 at 12 but I grew up on a bike.

Thanks for the opinions

Rick
