Honda VT125 - I am 6'2" and 17stone and fitted on that quite easily. Will take some searching and travel as they are not that common, but worth the search.

My other suggestion would be the Varedero (same engine at VT), can't find older one for lot less than £3000 ???

Both slightly higher than £1200 but a lot better build quality than usual 125 cheapness.

The V-twin engine has a lot more grunt than the usual 125 single, so worth going for if a slightly bigger chap. The other advantage is that they hold there money really well, so when trading in , you can get almost what you paid. My VT125 cost me £2300 and year later traded it for £2000, not bad £300 for a years riding!
