As a tall guy a cbr was the most comfortable bke i had sat on.
i went and tested a lot simply trying to fight my height, busa ( did fit but its huge and expensive) , zx12+, r1/r6, a few ninjas and a Monster which i wanted the most but they just would not work for me.
A buddys dad has a cbr1000 and it felt the best by far.

This. If you are 6 foot+ a CBR will be the most comfortable to ride (in my opinion) i had a 600 f4 and a 1000rr, both bikes were very comfortable (for a rocket lol)

r6/r1 is probably the next best bet for tall guys, gixxers and ninjas are for shorter people, again my opinion.

I also had a buell for a short time. bike was a blast to ride but god was that thing horrid to sit on.

I would go with R6 personally. I'm 5'10' on a good day so the bike seems to fit me perfectly.

Like others have said it is all about the feel, I prefer Yamaha>Suzuki though.

ive had a ninja 650, gsxr 600, and now own a cbr1000rr.. i prefer my cbr over the others. I think it rides just fine, the ninja obviously was very comfortable with the upright bars (being a 650, technically a Sport Touring) the gsxr was not bad at all, i mean youre gonna be stretched a bit on any sport bike, i ride with one hand and relaxed. idk just preference. like others said, go sit on one, maybe test ride one. Also Stay away from 20k+ miles unless the deal is FANTASTIC and they have maint records.
