I don't think weight is an issue; buddy seats were an option which would equate to close to 300 pounds for two riders. The "bigger" issue is ride comfort. The bikes are not ergonomically set up for larger riders. But that is up to you. I wouldn't plan a cross country trip on one! ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Just wondering, I used to ride a two-stroke 125 dirt bike in high school and I weighed 225 then? I really have an itch for a '58 165. But will give up plans if I can't ride it. What should be the riders top weight be, in your opinion? Thanks for your help. Dan
