You got nothing to worry about. You spend very little time managing the weight of the bike. When you are at a full stop and your body is managing the weight your lower body actually does quite a bit of the work anyway.

I'm not a big guy by any stretch. 5'9" 170lbs and my first bike was a Heritage. My wife is 125 lbs 5'4" and is going into a Deluxe.

My buddy has a lowrider and I have found it to be one of the easiest bikes to handle. It is balanced very well and the center of gravity is lower so it doesn't feel like it will flop over when you are sitting at a light and the wind is blowing.

If you like men get a VRod
If you are not sure what sex is then get a Sportster.

Hope this helps.

It doesn't take much strength, just balance, co-ordination, and confidence. I ride a 800 lb. road glide loaded with my wife and everything she can pack in all the saddlebags and tour pack and do ok. I'm 5'8" 150 lbs and no muscles. Take a riders edge course and have some fun!

Yep, that's about right, I use to have a Dyna and now I have a bagger.
