For you tall riders what sportbikes seem to offer you the best room and comfort?

I am 6'2" and never had a problem on a 600rr with vortex rearsets as high as they go. You just got to be flexible. I also ride on a big wheel with no issues.

08 ZX6R Fits me like a glove...I'm 6'4

I'm a smidge under 6'4" and 280#...i've ridden everything, but by far the most comfortable bike i've ever ridden was the TL1000R

Generally, Hondas have always been the most comfortable for me.

I'm no were close to that but out of all of them I've ridden to me the ZX10R has the most leg room. bad knees and ankles like more room.

I'm a short guy and I sat on a zx6 and a zx10. To my surprise the zx10 was more comfy. Both were mid to late '00's.

plus one on the TLs I am 6'4 and around 250, my old rf900 was prety comfy too. Surprisingly the newer generation gsxrs seem kinda comfortable to me as well.

While arguably not in the category of a true Sport bike I would say take a close Look at the Busa and the ZX14 these are flat out incredible to ride. The thing that hard core sport riders vetch about when these bikes are discussed (extra weight and chassis length) smooth out the ride and anything you give away in the corners, the incredible torque on both machines lets you more than take it back in the straights.

mine is an 06 ZX10R.

I've worked in shops and ridden the big 4 so have an idea of leg room on the other bikes.
