I think you'd feel cramped on it lengthwise, not heightwise. (Can't say ****pit.)
My son has a CR80Expert and it's great fun to play around on but if I remember correctly (from before it snowed) it is too short lengthwise to be comfortable very long.

Susan (aka, "the Ant") is 5'2", 155 lbs and her BBR120 - which uses the CR80R-Expert frame and suspension - was just about the right size.
This is also the equivalent size for ther BBR200 - which still uses the same CR80R-Expert suspension and has the same general dimensions.
You're ~ 9" taller and a few more pounds ...... my personal opinion: I think you'd be a bit cramped. If not on length of bike - then possibly on the seat-to-peg-distance. You might find your knees being too compressed.
My advice: go down to your local Honda/Yamaha dealer and go from model to model to model. Try 'em all for size. Try to take along a sturdy person or a work stand so you can also try it standing up, sitting down, standing back up, lean back-n-forth, make :...bbb-r-r-a--a-a-pp-p-ppp" sounds. you know. try to mimic how it might feel in the real world.
That will tell you a lot. Even better is trying several different sizes of bikes. Even just zipping up and down a street once or twice will tell you an awful lot. And most friends are cool with letting you ride their scoots like that.
