Am I too big for a grom clone?

I agree with Tom on the Venom SS3! I would think if you made the upgrade to the Nibbi carburetor and a different exhaust or at least a different muffler you should be able to maintain 50-55mph. You may have to upgrade to a 16 or 17 Tooth front sprocket. I have a nibbi and a aftermarket muffler as well as a 17 tooth front sprocket and weigh 185lbs at 6’ 1” and the SS3 will maintain 55-60mph for me pretty good. I’m not certain how 85 more lbs would affect it. It is a really good bike though, I enjoy riding mine.
