It's not so much the bike as it is the rider.
Most riders, I wouldn't ride with. Most (not all) Harley riders got into riding later in life than those I consider reasonably experienced. I was involved with creating the first rider school in Oklahoma and more than a few Harley riders bought their first Harley before they ever threw a leg over a bike for the first time.
Has he been riding his whole life, or did he buy his first bike when he 'picked up a new hobby?"
How much time has he spent on dirt bikes? From what age?
How much riding instruction as he had?
Etc.
Given your history with bikes, saying no is a pretty reasonable decision that he should have no issue with,
