Bmw k1300s sportbike not the naked version. Also, look into the yamaha fj1300. Am 5'8 but the adjustability, hefty size and power of the k1300 has won me over. New ones can be expensive with options and used ones are rare so best of luck.

I am only 6'2" - but 36" inseam and 37" sleave...

My first ride was a Katana 750 (rode it all over North America from Deal's Gap to Death Valley).

Next was a DL1000 (VSTROM) - lots of comfy miles there too! But for a first bike, I would recommend the wee-strom (DL650) instead.

Current ride is a ZX14 with lowered pegs - LOVE IT - but not a good choice for your first bike...

The KLR650 is also a decent choice for a first ride - I have two buddies who have put major miles on theirs - one is 6'6", and the other is only 5'10" (but pushing 300lbs)...

Check out a Kawi Versys. Tall and handles great.
