I am going to buy a dirt bike within the next month. It's primarily for my 9 year old but I will be riding it as well. My son already has a good size dirt bike (not sure what size) and is jumping, etc..

What is your opinion on this bike? I am planning on buying new but would used if I found a decent onel Is $3,200 a good price new or used?

I would rather buy a Honda, is there an equivilent? I know I want a 4 stroke but really know NOTHING about dirt bikes hence all the stupid questions..

Honda's comparison....

They're decent trail/pit bikes. I would try to find used, as these bikes are "generally" less abused than full motocrosser's, mostly because it'll be cheaper. Buying new toys for offroad use assures you what has, will and needs to be done to it to keep it running tip top though. If you've got the cash, get the new one.
