IMPO, "fitting" on a sportbike for street riding has a lot do with tolerance. You put up with the cramped business for those times when comfort is furthest from thought.

Here's my suggestion: KTM 990 Supermoto

I have not sat on one. I just know someone that owns one that is about 6'1" and has not complained.

Exposing the virtues of liter bikes because they will fit is not always sage advice as well.

I don't care who you are... Shaq shouldn't start on a 1000cc...
