tons of 04-06 600ss bikes for $5-7k. You can ride here about 9 months out of the year without a crazy amount of gear or gadgets. 600's are a steep learning curve as it is so I wouldn't push my luck too much with a bigger bike. At 270lbs it will be all about getting the suspension set up for you on whatever bike you get. My girlfriend and I weigh a little less than 300 and my bike 99 zx6r has no problems at all going really fast and having a lot of fun
