My son 6 foot tall started off with a Yamaha Thundercat they are not trendy but a great bike and they have 2 seats so his girlfriend goes with him on it
He Went from an XL125 to a Yamaha Thundercat and now has a DRZ400 as well which works great for him he has been to France for a week on the cat and done lots of off road on the DRZ
My advice for what its worth (not much I hear you say ) is ignore horsepower figures they are all a bit pie in the sky get a bike that you feel comfortable on and get out there and ride almost any modern bike of over 600cc will scare the poo out of you to start with
