As per the others get him on a Big Wheel 85 to start, more than enough to scare him but easy enough to handle plus easy to maintain,
At his size 5.5 he may look a little small on it but in a year or two you'll be swapping it for a 2 stroke 125 or 4-stroke 250. The 2-strokes are holding their price secondhand as most companies dropped them from their ranges but are lighter and easier (cheaper) to maintain than 4-strokes
My boy worked his way through from a PW80 at 7 and finally got a RMZ250 at 16, never raced just gone to practice tracks and had fun blasting around.
As I'd never done any off roading myself I went to the KTM off road Experience last month and had a go on a MXtrack, best fun I've had for a long time and now looking at selling my boys RMZ and going shares in nearly new 250 KTM to do some more myself. Although I wont be going as fast as him, don't bounce as well as I used to either.
