That depends on what kind of ridding he will be doing.

Yeah, if he is an aggressive rider, the bike will work well for him. If he wants to ride tracks, maybe a 250R for him.
As for outgrowing it, some people get bored very fast with their bikes. Usually they want to go faster, which means that he may get a bigger bike soon after getting this.

Tops out about 72 mph. (six speed transmission)
Not gonna impress anyone on the dunes. Not enough Cajones to run paddles, even six cup.
