What is the best first motorcycle for a 6 ft tall 200 lb guy?

Any prospective motorcycle owner should actually go to the dealers and sit on the various motorcycles. There is no one brand or type that fits based on size and "6 ft, 200 lbs" is not unusually large (or small) for a rider of any kind of various motorcycles.

Most motorcycles, even small sportbikes can be slightly modified to support bigger riders. The rear suspension spring can be replaced. Most sportbikes come tuned for a 160-185 lb rider whereas most cruisers come tuned for a 185-215 lb rider. That is merely a reflection of the typical buyer.
