I am 5' 8" and have ridden several tards. No problems.
I also ride my high-seat-height R6 with no problems as well.
You just have to get used to it.

Plus the tank on my bike is tiny, I only get about 60-70 miles before I flip it to reserve.
Honestly, it is actually a fantastic commuter bike, as long as your commute isn't a lot of highway. It's light, nimble, easy to ride and fun, I used to have a 45 minute commute to get to school, and I loved taking the 'tard, and it was about half highway.

Agreed for the most part... but my buddy's DRZ is great on the highway. It'll top out at 110. You can ride it at 75 all day long with no problems at all. For short highway jaunts it's fine. It has a 39mm flatside carb and yosh exhaust.
Obviously I wouldn't want to ride any tard all day on the highway though. That's why you take alternate routes of side roads
