Daves not looking for his son.

As far as going with the big bore, it really depends on the rider. If he is ready for it then great, if not then it's not such a good idea.

Does he have any seat time on a big bore?

I agree. A 150, to a big bore, is too big of a jump. Get him a 250 for a couple of years, by that time, you'll be old enough that you'll be wanting to slow down, so then you can just trade. You're welcome for this valuable insight.

CDA Jr's bike upgrades were as follows. PW50 -> KX65 -> YZ85 -> YZ250F -> YZ250 smoker -> KTM350

where's the 250smoker nowadays

I am with these guys, put him on a 250F not even a 250smoker it will be bad just bad. Not sure what you guys are saying when you say don't put him on a 450f but put him a 250 smoker because the last time I looked they are pretty similar in power. I let me son ride my bike once but I dame sure won't let him out on the track or trails with it.

Emireess bikes were pw50-kx60-kx100-cr125

100 for tight stuff 125 for more open stuff. Only reason I choose to ride the 125 in more open stuff is because I am straight midget status and can't put my foot down or maneuver it around to well when off the bike. I always told myself if I rode dunes or open stuff more often I'd have no problem getting a 250 smoker. I don't think a 450 would be bad for him, won't lie I haven't rode anything bigger then my 125 but I don't think I'd have any problem throwing my leg over a 250 smoker or 450. It's all about throttle control.

True they are close and my 250 smoker is a rocket, but a 450 will apply power to the ground with much more torque that will put you into "Launch" mode quickly.
