Welcome to the forum. Sit on the ninja, and see how you like the bike at first, then make the decision.

I'm 6'1 and fit fine, although I am not sure a rear set wouldn't make it that much better... My longest ride so far has only been 3hrs straight seat time.
I do plan on ordering a set next month, but I am mainly doing it for ascetics. |

I've heard that with taller riders, rearsets help get the rider's knees down below the lip on the tank so you can squeeze the tank a little.
From my 5'10" tall riding experience, rearsets make a sporty riding posture much easier, but they cramp my legs. For long term rides, they're a little aggressive, but once you get accustomed to them, they really aren't bad at all. The first couple longer rides of the season (2 hours or more) always have a rest stop in them just to get ride of stiff legs though...
