Yes I most certainly would! and I see his tippy toes are barely on the pegs as well in an attempt to keep his knees down. I rode my daughters R6 yesterday and it felt small too. If I had to commute like nearly everyone else I would have one of those CBR250R's. However, I live and work at the same place, my commute consists of a 100' walk down the side walk! Even when I have to run down town to the bank or grocery store, the cold temp light in my TDI Beetle does not even go off by the time I return home from there! :{)
