It's a very comfortable bike. I've ridden and raced quite a few bikes, and most will fit people our size. I’m 6′2 and weigh 210 lb. It’s a very comfortable bike.

I find it very comfortable and would recommend it. I’m exactly your height and ride an SV1000S – the identical frame size. I find it very comfortable and would recommend it.

The SV650 is a bit tall, like you, and an excellent motorcycle. If you still feel cramped, you will have no trouble finding an even taller custom seat. You might like the 1,000cc bike as it has more power. Sadly, the "bigger" bike doesn't offer ABS. Why? I think someone in the Suzuki design department had too much saki. If you are still looking, you might also consider a Ducati Monster or Streetfighter (hate that name). They are also slim, powerful, standard bikes with V-twin engines and tall seats. Of course, all the sport touring bikes--Concours, FJR, Bandit--are also a bit more roomy. Yes. The SV650 is a bit tall, like you, and an excellent motorcycle.
