Any hour meter or rebuild? Looks in excellent shape , but If he went through a chain and sprocket maybe lots of use.
Turbo dodge I'm not one to argue with people, but you should take your dirt bike advice elsewhere. Bike selection is key and going for an overpowered bike that cannot be controlled by an inexperienced/ underpowered rider could be a huge mistake. 450s really take a talented rider to handle them. Sure lots of people " ride " them, but they are not even close to using the bike how it is supposed to be ridden. A 250f or 350f would be a good choice. I'm 6"5 215 and don't even ride a 450.
Yeah honestly most people who ride 450s can ride, but aren't advanced riders. I've never met a guy i can't keep up with if im on a 250 and he is on a 450. Don't know turbo so i hate to judge, but ill pretty certain he doesn't ride a 450 like it should be ridden.
Road bike is different, throttle control is much easier to maintain. You get on a powerful bike in trails or on a track that has jumps, bumps, roots, and other shit, one wrong crack of the throttle and you are rolling across the ground while your bike either shoots across the air or goes down a hill. Inexperienced riders on 450s either get themselves hurt, get someone else hurt, or don't really "ride".

I've had experience though. I drive quads all the time. And I used to ride dietbikes. I don't think it'll be a problem. But I can be wrong. I'm turning 16 very soon
Stick with a 250 and get back used to riding bikes, and get some more experience under your belt. Like i said, a good rider can make that 250 do whatever the hell he wants. If you start getting bored of it, it means you aren't progressing.
