Considering an Apollo DB-36, first bike ever. What should I know?

I've been looking at dual sport/Enduro bikes, but I'm also down to get a straight dirtbike and then just add lights/mirrors etc. PowerSportsMax has the Apollo in stock, so does Amazon.

What's weird is some listings say it has a 229cc engine, others a 250cc. Hoping it's the latter.

Another thing I'm a bit confused by, I'm a bigger/heavier guy, does this offer adjustable suspension? I see it says "rear adjustable shock" is that all I'd need? The bike says it's rated for 440 lb, which I'm def not that big so I would think I'm fine.

Lastly, as far as mods go, hoping the bike has potential to be messed with enough to get it up to 70-75 mph. I would say I'll prob be off-road a lot with this, but also use it to drive on the roads to get where the off-road stuff begins. Has anyone found a bigger gas tank that can fit?
