Having had a NX 125 for a year, I wouldn't recommend it.
It is very slow hence dangerous.

The NX250 on the other hand is a must have in the 250 category (in my book)
Proper braking, 6 speed, 100 mph able, very good reports in FE and its trail position is good for beginner and in town driving.

250 is the best size engine wise for me.
Enough power, proper FE and not too heavy.
