Yamaha V-Star 650. Kawasaki Vulcan 500 is another good choice but the seating position might feel cramped due to your size. The V-Star 650 has the same size dimensions as the full size V-Star 1100, since it’s built on the same frame and uses most of the same parts, aside from the engine. Honda Shadow 750 is another good choice and is a far better bike but it costs a fair bit more than the V-Star and at your skill level I’m not sure it’s worth spending the extra $2000 or so.
