started at 16 and been a kid ever since, bikes are so much fun, trouble is because of your lankyness you are restricted to which bikes you will find comfy,
my mate (oops who do i sound like now!!) is a similar build and he has a R1 which he finds comfy but i strongly suggest you work up to that style of bike or you will get yourself into all sorts of probs and will have a few moments! as no amount of cbt can prepare you for a pocket rocket.

Now that's a funny picture... At least it gave me a good laugh on a dreary Monday morning. I would have paid to see you going 'round the cone, O Lanky One.......

I only really posted the picture for your personal amusement. Tight figure-of-eights were interesting due to the knee-handlebar interface
Actually the little bike wasn't anything like as cramped as I thought it would be. I expected to hate the fckin thing, but we actually got along quite well. Don't think I'll be buying one though.
And no, I didn't knock the cones down. A big boy did it and ran away . . .
John

No, I've decided that bikes are horrible scary dangerous antisocial things and I'll not be having anything more to do with them. 
Not really! 
Got a DAS course booked after Christmas and I'll be sitting amongst the spotty oiks doing my theory test next week!

Now I feel old...... when someone says "started with a PW80 as a child" and riding all my life"... and you realise that when he was a child bombing round the fields on his PeeWee (early/mid eighties?)... you were probably trying to date his mom.... Shit... I'm off to take me Sanatogen, drink me cocoa and tuck up in bed with a nice book...
