The Rebel is a good choice around town for someone your height. It is not the best for 60 mph but will do it fairly well for your weight, and this Honda is not the best for 75 mph.

Consider a scooter- they are great for city traffic with an automatic transmission, and many cost less than the Rebel for both price and insurance.

I started with a 3.5 horsepower minibike with an automatic transmission at 8 years old for a year, then a two-speed 60cc scooter with no clutch for two years, then a five speed 100cc dirt bike for three years, then a five-speed 650cc street bike from 20 to 25 years old.
