TC -

While I'm a strapping 145lbs or so myself, there are quite a few around these parts that can stand with you...

No problems! Come on over!

tcwelsh, I'm not quite as tall as you, but I'm a portly 230#. I've  had my Bullet since 03 and she seems not to mind it much. ;)

I'm 6' and 280lbs with long arms.  The bike carries me just fine.  You shouldn't have any trouble with it at all.
