Anybody know anything about MX bikes?

Hi all!
Over the past few months I've had this idea in my head that I wouldn't mind gettin' a motocross bike to chuck round a field. I don't wont to get a bike licence because I have no intentions of driving on the road and I really cant be bothered going through all the learning and testing again.
Thing is I have no bike experience so what I'm asking is,
1. Is it really all that hard to get to grips with? I'm 20 and the only time I've used a bike was my friends dirt bike when I was 10. I fell off on my ass.
2. I assume there is no qualifications required since I'm not on the road, or is CBT training mandatory however you use the bike.
3. What would be a good ride to start on? I've had a look at a Yamaha YZ125cc 2 stroke and for the price it seems ok. Would a 250 be better or does it really depend on your needs?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers in advance
Kyle
