Thanks everyone, some interesting replies.
I only took my lad for a short spin, no more than 15 minutes but he loved it. My bike does not have provision for a pillion but will be giving that consideration for my next bike. I think he is old enough to come out and have fun with his old man.
My problem will be the wife. She considers all bikes to be death traps and the people who ride them to be reckless and irresponsible. I only get away with it because I have had bikes since I was 17, a long time before I met her.
I am in two minds about whether I am being sensible in encouraging this. To be honest I am not sure if I would be happy with my lad riding a bike himself when he is older. I think as a parent you want to try to minimise the risk.

Thats a great idea, indoctinate a new generation into the joys of Ducati ownership. Condemn them to poverty for the rest of their lives because they have just spent the mortgage money on a 12K service or on some needless carbon bling!
