As we know, many times the rider's skills trump the bike.
Nice accomplishment !!

Sounds like your son can twist a throttle pretty darn good!!  Ha! To my point, Ryan Dungey on a 1971 TM400 could beat me like a rented mule, even if I was on a 2018 KTM 450 Factory Edition.......... Even if I was 40 years younger. LOL
