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.

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.

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.

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