It all matters so much on you, but let me ask some baseline questions that will help the folks give you their opinion.
1: What kind of riding experience do you have?
2: What bike do you ride now, or last bike owned?
3: What type of riding/racing do you plan on doing?
4: Who works on your bike?
5: Is cost of ownership a concern, ie. could you afford $200 on a engine repair, could you afford $1200 or more on an engine repair?
6: How old are you?
i say go with the 2 stroke. it will teach you how to ride a big bike better than jumping on that 250f prior to ever riding a big bike....

in my opinion it would actually be easier to get a 4stroke than a 2stroke because on a 125 you're gonna have to ride it harder than you would on a 250f to keep the power there..
glad to see you step out of the shadows every once in a long while volk
