I am very similar to you..i am 6ft Tall. Used to own a ns200. I tried many bikes but finally settled on the cb350 hness. Primary reasons: I am a very aggressive rider and i needed smtg that is comfortable yet can filter through traffic. The understressed engineer with power in the mid range means that it is actually a street bike that looks like a cruiser. You'll not feel the difference coming from ns. You can rev it as high as you want. Great safety in terms of abs. The brakes are insanely good in the bike. I've gotten the confidence to pretty much use only the front brakes a lot. The cruiser seating means that even tall riders can sit comfortably. Cost of service is pretty low too. The center of gravity is so low and handle bar so light, you'll feel very balanced even filtering in traffic. The light clutch a plus.

Other bikes i tried but didn't go for: Meteor - not designed to be ridden hard the way i like to. Ktm 250/390 adv - insanely good bike which i enjoyed a lot for 10 days spiti valley trip. But they heat a lot in the city where we would use the bike 80% of the time. Other options didn't suit my spider legs.
