People need to not focus on the character. The father purchased the bike in the story. Not the kid. nor does it seem the characters were aware of what would occur. The father being a "working man" taking care of a wife and son.
Purchasing a Harley was probably his dream come true. I imagine he would skip on a tourer knowing it was too costly and he would do most of his riding locally. Thus, it would make more sense he would end up on a Wide Glide. The other option, albeit, costly is that he gets the Breakout. It's a couple grand more, but they seem to be rather popular and have a similar aggressiveness to the Wide Glide. The Street Glide, meh.
I opted and voted for the Breakout. Would a small 13-year-old have a hard time riding it (it isn't noted the character is 6' until he returns around the age of 30), oh yeah. But he doesn't get far before being stopped.
My biggest concern is who named their kid Orpheus in 2008? Maybe it's his middle name? Like Jayden Orpheus Knight or Caden Orpheus Knight, which were both very popular names that year.

For my tastes, its a little too close to The Matrix naming him (M)Orpheus. I would pick a name that isn't close to any other popular (or unpopular) Post Apacolyptic SyFy name.
