6'2" and was mostly okay (though I find Suzuki generally has their footpegs a bit high) on a pointy EXCEPT for what I mostly used it for, commuting! My wrists would be killing by the time I'd gotten to work, it didn't suit slow city riding at all. When the opportunity presented itself I got a Fazer which is more upright and I'm much more comfy on it... so maybe a Blandit 600?

Definitely, absolutely sit on several bikes to see how you feel, and remember that what you 'think you could put up with' while sitting on it will be magnified several times over after a long ride.
