KX65 or KLX110, depending on how aggressively he rides.

Like Frudaddy says, depends on his style and what he plans to do. If he plans on riding any motocross, go with the KX65. If he's more inclined to trail ride only, the KLX110 would be good, or any brand's equivalent in a 4-stroke trail bike. But be warned, a 4stroke trail bike will not make a good motocross bike. So if moto is in the future, go with the 65.

FYI, my son is 8, 4'4, 60 pounds and we just bought him a RM65 this weekend. He's moving up out of his TTR90. He motos, and his poor 90 was just not made for the track. No suspension to speak of, and grossly underpowered compared to the 65's.
