I re-iterate my previous comment about going to a dealer and planting yourself down on different models. MOST sportbikes are made for people under 5'10" that have with a small frame. I'm 6'2"@170, and the SV JUST BARELY works for me. I ended up going with a machined handlebar that changed the geometry just enough for my back and wrists to stop hurting.
So, comfort (to me, at least) is most important. At last year's motorcycle show in Atlanta, the only two models that I felt like I could ride for longer than 50 miles were the Ducati Monsters (S4R Dark  ) and the Yamaha FZ1. (I also fit nicely on the 04 Honda RC51, but there's NO WAY I'd trust myself on that bike.) Even the Duc 999 felt cramped. =[
