Default Newbie Question

Hi guys,

I have a couple of questions/advice to ask. First off I just turned 30 yesterday, and i've finally decided to get a motorcycle after knocking the idea around for about 10 years. What I need to know is what size bike wold you reccommend for someone that's 6'2" and weighs around 275lbs? I have a couple friends that say a 600 would be too small and that I should get either a 1000 or the hayabusa 1300. But I beg to differ, since both of these are extremely powerful bikes.
I was thinking along the lines of either a 600 or 750gixxer, 600 or 750 katana.
Any advice would be greatly helpful.
