    I'm 6ft 4 myself and found any of the 600 or 1k machines are tiny.

    The only sports bike I'm comfy on is the ZZR range.

    you will get bored of the sv easily if your coming from a bandit. Bandit is far superior.

    Go for a gixxer and get adjustable rearsets. Or go with lanky up there and try a zzr

    How could anyone get sick of a bandit. I'd love another one. Keep the gixxer aswell of course though lol.


    dunno how much of a difference the rearsets would be to be honest, bound to help a bit anyways.

    thought the sv was quite small myself

    best bet, imo is try and sit on a couple... sportsbikes, unfort have just gotten smaller as the years go by, might have to go back in the years a bit to find a fitting one

    vfr800 might be a option - shouldnt be any more expensive to insure then the cbr/gixxer (prolly cheaper)
