I am almost perfectly your size. I ride 125 & 250cc motor cycles all of the time. I guess it will depend more on what you hope to achieve by riding. Back a forth to work can be achieved by the smaller motorcycles. If you are wanting to do some rallies and camping, I would suggest a motorcycle 800cc or over. All of the metrics sell motorcycles that are on the small size of the cruiser line. $9k will buy a nice new motorcycle. If you have no rider experience, may I suggest that you spend a couple hundred on a class BEFORE you make your purchase. What if you don’t like it or don’t get your license? Then you have a large investment sitting around waiting.
