Hiya and welcome!

The final decision’s up to you on which bike to get. the 250 ninja might be a bit cramped for you since you’re rather tall, but weight-wise the bike should be fine for you. You just need to go and sit on some bikes. I don’t much care for cruisers myself so I have no ideas about them. I can say, having ridden these bikes, that the sv650s, the sv650s abs, and the ninja 250 are fine bikes to ride. If I’m reading you right, it seems that you feel more safer riding in india as opposed to here… which is kinda funny, as I have a friend at work who’s interning here from france, and he’s said he’d feel safer riding here in california than in france… hahaha…

anyhoo, if you can get ABS, get ABS. Suzuki has some vids that really highlight the benefits of ABS.
