If I were your size, I’d consider starting on a 500 for a bit more engine power, but still manageable and not crazy. Not sure about your bike style preference but my standard recommednation is GS500.
Most bikes are set up at the factory for a smaller rider, 140-ish pound rider. You’ll probably need to go for heavier springs for better suspension action on any bike you choose.
