Newbie.. mate i'm a sportsbike rider that is thinking about getting into ADV bikes as i'm in the early planning stages of extended bike trravel so i think i can answer to some extent. I also have a mate that is 6'5" that i did quite a bit of bike shopping with.
As you have said your "just getting into bikes" then i'll presume you don't have a lot of riding experience. Personally i think there are a lot of bikes that would suit your cause that are powered by sportsbike engines but are a bit more suitable to your size. So i will just put some suggestions down and advise you to go and sit on them and ride them and keep researching, hyou also haven't mentioned a price range which makes things a little difficult.
- Triumph ST Sprint
- Triumph Speed Triple
- Aprilia RSV (big bike so very suitable and nice power delivery)
- Honda VFR
- Suzuki SV650** + SV1000
- Yamaha FZ600 + FZ1000
- Kawasaki Z750* + Z1000
There are plenty of bikes around so get out there talk to people in dealerships and sit on bikes is my suggestion...
Have fun!
Chris
