Maybe. Think Pillsbury Dough Boy; 5'5", 180 !! That's about 20-30 too much.
The difference is subtle.....and of course we don't have exactly the same bike either.

Kinda took your advice, and put 500 miles on her in 9 days! Didn't do anything really long though, I just went for a ride in the "country" or up on the mountain after I left school several days in a row plus my normal driving and I was there. Got her serviced at 501 miles.
