Triumph Daytona 675 has an extremely narrow seat, it feels lower than it is because of it. Learning to stop correctly (ie one foot down) means you can ride pretty much anything, you just have to get off to push it back.

Ducati 848 fits me well, narrow enough seat to put a foot down easily, gixxer, older r6 or CBR 600 f4i all seemed comfortable enough to live with

I'm 5'7 with 28/29" inseam, I've rode some very tall machines, once you know what you're doing when you bring it to a stop you should be ok.
Bring it to a stop on the rear brake, as it's just about to stop completely tip the bars all the way left & put your left foot down, one side of your arse may be off the seat & the bike may be leaning over a bit. To go point the bars forward & roll on, the bike will pick itself up a lot easier when moving.

I learned that on a mate's 800cc BMW F650GS
