Rally James? Coming from someone who rides a 250f on a daily bases, but would not throw his leg over a 450 when out in our high desert? Big Wave Dave - I would not put your son on a 450 from 150. All this "don't twist the throttle that much" is all great until you get a little out of shape in some whoops and your right wrist grabs a handful. What happens when he gets in a rocky technical area and grab a fist full of throttle and "launches" the 450 straight up? You want him to enjoy his riding out there with you and keep his confidence up and feel comfortable on the bike. I would make a jump to a 250 for awhile before making the jump to a 450. My son is not a bad rider and he had the option to get a 450 or 350. Rode both and was faster on the 350 in the dez than the 450, plus he felt a lot more comfortable on the 350. Just saying...
