Generally, Hondas have always been the most comfortable for me.

plus one on the TLs I am 6'4 and around 250, my old rf900 was prety comfy too. Surprisingly the newer generation gsxrs seem kinda comfortable to me as well.

While arguably not in the category of a true Sport bike I would say take a close Look at the Busa and the ZX14 these are flat out incredible to ride. The thing that hard core sport riders vetch about when these bikes are discussed (extra weight and chassis length) smooth out the ride and anything you give away in the corners, the incredible torque on both machines lets you more than take it back in the straights.

I'm 6'4" and am on my 3rd GSXR1000. I'm quite comfortable on it. When I bought my first GSXR back in 2001, I had just parted ways with Yamaha and was looking for a change so I tried EVERYTHING else, including the Italian brands. There were several factors that drew me to this bike but comfort was definitely on the list.

compaired to the R1/R6 just about everything has more leg room

im 6'4, and about the only comfy sportbikes ive been on are some of the older ones. Tl's, zx9r's, zx7r, 900rr...

The newer bikes werent made to be comfortable.

I'm not tall but I was floored when I went to my first group VFR ride. I was surrounded by giants!! Probably not what you mean since the VFR is considered a sport-tourer though..

I'm only 6' but I do like my 98 ZX9R.

I'm all but certain my next bike will be a Busa. I'd prefer an 06-07, I hate the back end on the 08-09 but love that orange/blue paint scheme. I also considered the ZX14 and love the back end of that one but don't really like the front end of it all that much.

I feel cramped as hell on my CBR 1000 on the longer trips, it does not help that I severely pulled muscles in my neck/shoulder area 2 years ago and will not stay off the bike long enough for it to quit agitating it. I know it has to do this bike because if I switch to the F4I or Ninja 500 I can ride all day pain free.
