Despirte being 5’11” and 200lbs, my first bike was a 234cc Rebel. I have now purchased a 1300 V-Star, which I love, but: the Rebel or a cycle in the lower level cc class will retain value, give you confidence, keep insurance costs low, rrepair costs low, gas costs low, and be a safe springboard to larger cycles as experience is gained. If I had started on a larger cycle (and I certainly was tempted to do so) my brain tells my ego an ambulance ride would have been involved in short order.
