I had a Kawasaki 1500 Vulcan. It was nimble for it's size and a ridiculous value. Any of the Kawa cruisers 900cc and up are a great ride.
I have a buddy about your size. He bought a 650 Yamaha. Nice bike, but he looked like a circus bear riding a bicycle and it was under powered for his size going up steep hills, etc. Be careful you don't "under buy" size-wise and power-wise. Looks matter!!!!!
