I think you're going to find the Sportster range cramped. Your best bet is to visit a local dealer, try sitting on a few and see what feels comfortable for you. Try a test ride and if possible rent for a day to see if you've found the right bike for your needs.
all depends what kind of riding you are wanting to do......long haul or just a couple hundered miles.... like the others said go to a dealer and see what drawes you to it and set on everything
