I'm 6'1" 190lbs. Put 30,000 miles on my Ninja 250 before it was totaled. The bike was fine ergonomically after i added handlebar risers, but 65 miles one way is pretty far and you'll probably be hurting after doing that every day.
The Ninja 650 is a great option, but how about the Versys? It is pretty much the same bike but is a bit more upright ergonomically and is geared and tuned more for the commuter and tourer.
I'm trying to decide between the Kawi Versys and the Triumph Tiger 800.
