I'm looking for a cruiser that I can fit on well as a beginner. I've ridden some bikes and used a clutch so thats not a problem. I'm 6'3" and weigh 210 and I want to find a bike that will be comfortable for my size but also a little sporty.

You have some more questions to ask yourself.Do you want to lean back and cruise. Are you looking for eye popping speed?Do you like steep turns that you lean into . Are you a straight road cruiser?
You are a bigger guy. Don't buy anything under a 550. THey make alot of fast cruisers that handle pretty well. Are you buying new or slightly used or very used. If you are looking for affordability look Japanese.

Sporty and a cruiser... unlikely... cruisers are for long straight roads and comfort, sports ... well for sport, low and designed for corners and short bursts of speed. If you are looking at 125cc then I suggest you just get something for the duration until you take the main bike test... But, being tall, perhaps an on-road/off-road type such as a trials... it has the height... but not the necessary comfort of a cruiser. Once you have passed your test look at something from BMW/Harley/Honda if you want cruisers. (I'm a biker but I have the opposite problem.. I'm small!)

if you are looking for a 125 i would say a Kawasaki trials bike but if youve just done your das course then i would suggest something like a Suzuki bandit 600 its not a cruiser or a sporty machine its a middle machine and easy to ride which is ideal if you drop it a few times as you don't want to be dropping a Harley or a nice gold-wing. sorry about the spelling lol.

And by the numbers from the US and quite big. I'd recommend a bike along the lines of a Honda VTX1300. Have also just heard theres a new VT750 out if the 13 is too big.
Get a test ride and make sure you feel comfortable first.
Good luck

I was going to suggest a CBR125R but you would probably find it a little small a Honda Varadero 125 although its only a 125 it looks a bigger bike for its size and would suit you better

I asked the same question recently and a dealer said a bigger bike was more stable than a smaller one which seems to make sense. I know it is more revenue for the dealer buying a bigger bike but I would tend to agree with him.
Another idea is to look at the www.whatbike.co.uk website as they are experts and have reviews - good luck!
