Default Which cruiser to choose?

Hi All,
I am a 58 year old newbee. I rode when I was a young teen but haven't ridden at all since then. I am in the Bucket List part of my life and really want to ride. I will take the MSF soon and want some help in deciding which size bike will be a good starter for me. Your experience speaks plainly. I am 5' 8" tall at 200 pounds. I have tried the C50 and V-Star 1100. The heights feel good but the weight will probably dictate my final choice.
Please help remove my ignorance about bikes.
Thanks to All and have a great day,
Ken
