try the NON fairing model 700N. I am 6'1" and a big guy, and it is WAAAAAAY more comfortable than my old VTX1800C. That bike was for big guys, but way too heavy. Much happier with CTX700N. This bike is a light cruiser and super commuter. It's not for everyone. I have had 8 bikes and ridden for 25 years. 3 bikes is optimal, so you don't rely on just one to do everything (like I am doing for another 5 years).
Haven't you ever heard the word "farkle"? Ya gotta customize it for you. I have taken my CTX700N on some fire roads (because ALL motorcycles are sport utility vehicles). I financed my CTX and even included the warranty. Most motorcyclists add $2000-$3000 worth of crap to their bike as long as they own it. I have with all my bikes. It's about love and passion, and making it your own. I AM HAN SOLO, building the Millennium Falcon (already done that with an F350 truck, two RV's, a Suzuki Burgman 400S, a KLR650, a Suzuki Boulevard C90, and my last bike a VTX1800C).
Go sit on the NC700X and see how that feels. Too tall for me and I don't prefer the standard riding position with feet underneath me. But if I won the lottery tomorrow, I would add an NC700X DCT, a VFR1200 DCT, and of course... a 2014 Polaris Indian Chief!!! Inside my new house with separate 6 car garage!
