i'm 6'3" and felt cramped on the C50 / M50 and Vulcan 900, mostly as far as legs not having a natural place to fit beside the tank / engine. the V-star 1300 was much better, though i can't recall what the 1100 felt like or if i even bothered to sit on one. the c90 was more in line with my fit as well (pretty close to how the v-star 1300 felt).

i don't think that power is going to be your issue - i think that space / fit and ergonomics are gonna dictate what you end up liking.

all kidding aside, if i had an extra few thousand sitting in my pocket right now and a place to store a second bike, a red V-Star 1300 would be it.
