Even though top speed is not a big concern, would the throttle response be ok at lower speeds with someone my size? Will the sled get stuck easily or overheat or bottom out with someone my size riding it?
Thanks for your help.

To answer your question, the short answer is, yes you will enjoy the performance of the 340 as a ditch banger.
The actual top speed that you can expect is at least 50 and the edge suspension will be kind to you and the fact that it is not overly powerful means that it will not get stuck too easily, and since the 340 is (I believe) a fan cooled engine, it will be lighter than a larger LC engined sled so if you do get it stuck, you can get it out easier.
