I am 6ft 3inches tall and found the leg room acceptable on a 60km ride, it does need better handle bars but would handle the Taihape Rd ok for a low powered bike. I think the GN would be a little small for you but they are still good learner bikes. The scorpio has a bit more grunt than the DR200 you have been riding.
    Hahahaha oh well that just gives me more of excuse to save up and get something in cruiser style because I really don't like the look of the GN

    Say hello to Roger Grey at Hastings Honda for me - I used to drop in there every week.
