I am not going to go too deep here. Horse power is a measurable unit in which some engine can do so much work. Look it up if want to go deeper. Racers, off road riders and those interested in going faster know that the easiest was to go quicker/faster is to shed weight. Higher horsepower mods stress and require further maintenance and cooling.
A stock 125cc should do what you want the bike to do but, don't expect to reach freeway speeds. What I would do in your situation is talk to the dealership Both Venom and Konik should be able to do this for you.
Drain and replace the fork oil with 15 or 20 weight fork oil. Also ask if a stronger weight rear shock can be installed. The suspension on these Chinese
are already over-taxed as the normal Asian is around 150 pounds.
Find some place that will work with you. You don't want to finance?
