If the Yamaha is the single cylinder for get it for anyone over 5'6. I have the Vulcan which is fine for people 5'10'' or less. The problem is not the bike power on any of the bikes mentioned but being 6' or more. If you re-post with a description of how you intend to ride the bike most of the time...

Yes, I've riden a bicycle for many years. Is push steering where you push the left bar to the right to turn right?
