So questions:
1. For my situation would you recommend a bike or a scooter?
2. Which Bike/Scooter would you recommend?

1. Scooter
2. 650 Burgman Exec.. don't laugh

I'm similar height & weight as you. I've been commuting the last 10 years on... cbr1000f, 1200s bandit, bmw r1150rt, sv1000s & now suzuki burgman 650 exec.

At our height, you soon get tired of cramps & being hunched over a tiny sports bike while commuting & getting soaked in the rain + riding the clutch in 1st & 2nd gear in traffic.

Stretch out your legs, relax & twist & go.... + the fairing & screen provide ample protection from wind & rain.... you don't get wet !

No chain, belt or arse maintenance. Just change oils every 6,000km. It's Fuel injected 650cc LAMS approved, ABS, electric mirrors, electric windscreen & heaps of STOWAGE + they cruise at along nicely motorway speeds. Splitting traffic is a breeze.... at the push of the button close the mirrors & go into hyperdrive .. c u laterz suckers
