Yes my wife is lighter than me but also hers is a little more Snappyer LOL. They're identical machines for the most part besides color. Hers is a 153 and mine is a 162. Then both having the same motor. Out on the trail hers is a lot faster and snappier and for goodness sakes I get on hers after riding mine and punch it and look at the sky! LOL you can imagine what would happen if we could all move our rear wheels 6 in forward LOL...
