As far as I know the Rebel and Nighthawk only come in the 250cc displacement. You will not be happy with either of those bikes at your size. Just stick with any 600cc to 650cc twin, not in-line 4, and you will be fine. You may want to go sit on as many different models/brands as possible since you are a tall guy. Some of the bikes will feel more cramped than others so don't rush in to this. Take your time and sit on bikes from all 4 of the Japanese manufacturers before spending all of that money.
 
Please only answer if you've had experience with these bikes!

I've never owned a bike before and I'm taking the safety course in April. I'm 6'0, 220 lbs. I've been doing a little research and I've narrowed it down to three bikes. The Honda Rebel, Shadow VLX600, and Nighthawk. I wanted to know if either the Rebel or Nighthawk came with a bigger than 250cc engine. I don't want to go any bigger than a 600, but I'm afraid that if I buy a 250, that I'll outgrow it too quickly. I eventually also want to be able to have someone else on the bike when I feel completely comfortable riding on my own. Also, out of those three bikes, which would probably be the best for someone my size?

I know that's a lot but I appreciate your help!
Which 4 manufacturers are you referring to? I'm looking for more of a classic/standard looking bike, not a crotch rocket.
