Anything under 1000cc is too small for you. You may need to get extended shifter, or forward controls.
It all depends on if you want a cruiser or sport bike or something to take a long trip on.
The best all around bike for a tall guy is this one.
Honda St 1300 w/ABS. Honda made this bike as a copy of the BMW K1200GT.
The Honda cost 4k less and has electric adj. windshield, which cuts down wind noise. The Bike holds 7.7 gallons of gas which is more than any of the rest. My cousin is 6'4" and has this bike and has taken it on three 1800 mile rides this year, not including his around town riding. You can get a 5 year warranty on this bike.
Make sure you get a bike you can ride more than 25 miles w/o being sore.

Height is normally not a problem when choosing your motorcycle. See what you like, if you like speed and dont mind price the Hayabusa is a classic. If you like to be comfortable but travel in the city alot i recommend the FZ-1 by yamaha. If you want some dirt action and like something smooth on the street you would like to go with the bmw GS1200. All of these bikes have smaller engines if you want to spend less money except for the hayabusa. Hope this helps.

If you are looking at the sportbikes, I would recommend the Yamaha YZF600R... it has great ergonomics for taller riders, and is identical from 1997 to the current 2006 model (making repairs, parts, etc., widely available). The Suzuki Katana was a competing model, but is heavier and less nimble in corners than the YZF600R. It has also been discontinued by Suzuki after the 2006 model.
Your best bet is to head to a dealer and sit on a few bikes to find what fits you best.

I ride a Ninja 650R. However, if I were taller, I'd ride a Yamaha Star M109R - this is the most bad a55 bike on the market right now, in my humble opinion.
I think this thing could fit you like a glove - if you've got about $12K laying around.

My new fave bike is any supermoto.
That's a dirt bike style body with racing suspension and tires.
It's also a tall bike and they handle great!
Buell Ulysses, that's the __it!
