I think you're on the right track with the 150. Riding a dirt bike especially off-road is an excellent way to learn how to ride a motorcycle. It's true that there are trees and telephone poles, but at least there aren't 2,000 lb 3,000 lb cars and trucks to collide with! It's also useful to learn how to break the rear tire loose and control it. You also get experience with front wheel skids. And there's a lot less pressure for learning how to use the clutch and transmission.

A dual sport like the Hawk or Storm also make a lot of sense. 14 horsepower, low seat height, 5 speed with a clutch. Full lighting and street legal for graduating to road use.
