Look into one of these three bikes, any of them will be good for your size:

1) Kawasaki Ninja 250 (EX250)
2) Kawasaki Ninja 500 (EX500)
3) Suzuki GS500F (I think that's it)

they might have different model numbers in Canada, but I think you get the idea. Also I will bring up the question, what kind of gear do you have? I highly suggest you get at least a helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, before you even start riding. Personally I'd suggest full leathers, but I understand that some people don't like wearing them for some odd reason. When making the budget for your bike, factor gear into that budget as well.
