I'm looking for a beginner's bike that will fit a 52 year old that's 6'2" and 190 lbs. Saw an ad for a 2000 Buell Blast 500, and just wondered if anyone has any experience with one.

I had a Buell Blast as a starter bike, great little bike, but you'll probably find it's too small. My husbands 6'2" and he found the handlebars bumped into his knee on tight turns, they have a shorter wheelbase then any other bike out there. I have a XB9 now, my husband likes to ride it, but again finds it's too small for his tall frame.
