I'd take a look at the Honda Magna...I'm your size and it suits me...it isn't a huge bike but that makes it nimble and a decent starter bike...it has modest power at the low RPM (~25 hp) making it easy to drive...but when you open it up to 7k RPM it has gobs of power (~80 hp)...which means you won't outgrow it anytime soon.

I bought mine from the states for cheap and then shipped it to great falls (same with the jacket helmet etc) and then picked it up with a trailer.
