Also 6'2", street triple is extremely comfortable. It would make a fine first bike, so long as you are sensible - when pushed they are very quick Would definitely recommend some crash protection as even a low-speed drop can be very expensive.
The main issue you'll find on motorbikes, being a bit taller, is the seat to peg distance. Your legs will usually be the first thing that will cramp up. You can remedy this to some degree by adjusting your rearsets (at the expense of cornering clearance).
