Yeesh.... I'm tall for a woman (@ 5'11") but you dwarf me! Honestly, no one will be able to 'recommend' anything for you unless they are similar in height and build. Your best bet is to go and sit on as many bikes as you can and see for yourself how they feel when you're in a riding position. Make sure you sit for awhile (no matter how silly you feel 
) and pay close attention to how you 'fit' with the bike, what may cause an issue once riding and if there's anything that gets in the way of your handling of the bike (seriously, I remember that with some 250's, my knees could prevent tight turning when I took my bike course). Good luck with your search! Welcome to the forum!

Good luck with your search! Welcome to the forum!I passed my M1 Exit course today!!! So, I'll be at the MoT first thing tomorrow morning to get my M2. Finally, I'll be able to insure and plate the GS! It's been a long 2.5 months!! I'm very excited. I'm going to have to find a nearby parking lot to get to know the new friend. I learned lots at the RTI course, but I definitely need more practice so that it all becomes second nature and I'm not thinking about what I need to do so much. I'm having trouble deprogramming 20 years of mountain bike racing experience! I had a lot of fun at the RTI course, good instructors, thankfully good weather. My only complaint from a tall guys perspective was the the bikes were a little small. I was only able to ride the Suzuki DR200. I'm hoping everything will be a little easier on my GS. Anyways, if you see a tall guy on a GS500f in a parking lot near the Westway and Kipling give a wave!
Cheers
