A 390 would be perfect but a too-tall seat is a deal-killer for me... I need to live with a bike in the real world, where there's sand, gravel, uneven pavement etc. I need to get at least the ball of a foot down or sooner or later the bike will get dropped.
ah, that makes sense. the cbr600rr/zx6r-636 fit me well but the r6 doesn't (I don't like gixxers due to the insurance rates being higher than everyone else, the only suzuki's I like are the 750 and the drz400) On the flip side the r6 fits my tall friends better than any other 600. 1000s tend to be a bit big for me in terms of street use. This is due to the fact that I have to back the bike up uphill on a regular basis, aka every time I park at home.
