or if those are a tad short, then a large wheel / expert 85/100 2 stroke or CRF150R 4 stroke.
the 2 stroke will be much cheaper buying in the used market since the 150R is a relatively new model and will be considerably more expensive.

if little to no experience, it would be best to start him off on a mild 4 stroke trail bike, like a Honda CRF80/100/150F (not R) or a Yamaha TTR90/110 or a Kawasaki KLX90/110 if those aren't too small for him. or if he is taller, CRF230 or TTR230 which are mid sized height wise but tend to be on the heavier side. these are all air cooled, older designed and bullet proof engines with moderate (at best) brakes & suspension but great bikes to learn how to ride on.
if he has some experience and is more agressive, something like a CR, KX, RM, YZ 80/85/100 or CRF 150R small wheel or expert (depending on his height) which will have all the performance upgrades including suspension & brakes.
if he is 5'6" or taller, he might be able to fit a full size bike…
again, little to no experience, XR, KLX, WR, CRFX 250
or if some experience and/or agressive, CRF, YZF, RMZ, KXF 250…
I would advise to start off used to save yourself some money as he might quickly outgrow or loose interest… then once he finds what really fits him, then you can always upgrade to newer…
how can i make it street legal?
also a golfcart?
to be legal it must be a model with blinkers/lights/speedo, for example
honda Crf 250 = 250cc standard dirtbike 4 strke , Honda Xr 250 = 250cc 4 strke dirtbike road worthy with light/blinkers etc
in the developing countries cars are swaped for quads but nothing like that in america, i know it sux i used to use mine to go to my friends places and around the roads till i got caught
cheers
thanks
Look up local tracks in your area. Two sites that have track info are www.wheretomx.com and www.dirtwerkz.com . Find out about joining up so then you can take your son along to practice days to get used to being on the track with other riders. The club secretary will also be able to give you information in regards to what licencing you need to be able to race and how to get a race number. Ask about the rules of racing and find out what all the flags mean so as your son knows what to do when one is waved at him. Also see if the club has a club coach so you can get some lessons for your son.
If you are buying second hand try and take someone along with you who knows about bikes so they can check the bike over as there is no point buying a bike and then finding out that it has major problems as you usually get what you pay for
