Size is not that big a deal. I am 6 ft and weigh a little more than you. Okay, a whole lot more than you. My SV was around the same size and riding position. They are way better than the all around sport bikes. More upright position.
My opinion standars are the way to go. Good power, good looks (I like the non-faired or half faired bikes), good riding positions, and less expensive.
The Honda Hornets are good bikes. I personally dont ride Honda's, but you can't beat their quality.
