I'd recommend checking out https://cycle-ergo.com/ to get a rough idea what you sit like on a bike. Bare in mind when you sit on the bike it will drop some from stated seat height but you can't see that.
Some suggested bikes for taller people:
Yamaha WR125X
Honda Varadero 125 (I think most suited to your build)
Suzuki DR125SM
Although expensive, from experience I can say it's totally worth getting training for a full license even if you stay on a 125. I picked up many bad habits (and a serious accident) in 2 years on a CBT it made the adjustment to riding properly more difficult. |

I am similar age to the op, but I've been up the capacity ladder as far as1300cc over the years.
I have a short 7 mile commute and some times cycle, but it's a very arduous trip and some days I just don't fancy it, especially the return 7 miles after a hard shift. So In Dec I bought a 125, I don't need anything bigger, it wouldn't get me to work and back any quicker, the traffic is choked. I don't like weedy lookers like the YBF nor pretend 125 sports or cruisers, so I bought ther only 125 that I wanted to actually ride and thought might be fun, I bought a Van Van and love it.
