i once had the same problem, im 5´8" weigh about 140,so i bought a 230 after having a suzuki 125 from when i was a seventh grader and ive rode race bikes but the power is so much more controlable on the 230 than any other bike ive rode. to answer your question i would say yes but i need to know what you would use the bike for if you know what i mean.
