If you want to stay in the Honda line, the Nighthawk may be something to look into. Standards tend to be a little higher off the ground which may be a problem for your stature. Performance wise, it seems that you are after more low end torque. If that is so, a big single or V-twin is the way to go. Singles are mostly dual sports which may be something familiar for a motocross rider. Concerning V-twins.. if you liked the Buell, it may be your best shot.
Hope all that made some sense.

It makes sense thanks. I was just looking at the Nighthawk actually, it looks a little on the heavy side but I may go into a dealership when I'm back in Phoenix and see if they have one I can sit on or maybe even test ride. You're right that I am a fan of naked bikes, and the more standard riding position is probably better in the long run but at the same time I like a little bit of sporty styling which is where the Buell comes in.
I really would like a dual sport but I know that they really aren't good bikes unfortunately.
