SV 650 suit taller riders?

[KingColumbo]

I'm 6ft 2"

How uncomfortable will an SV be for me?
I've had a sit on one and it felt alright but I havent test ridden any yet.

im 6ft 8 and have had no issues but there are things that you can do to help for longer runs
naked pegs are lower or buell ones fit straight on and lower the pegs alot, you can buy lowering plates for pegs also
also theres a thing called a comfort kit for faired bikes which gives you bars not clip ons
seriously consider getting a naked sv they are comfier for us tall ones

for more info on any of these mods just use the search function top right

i'm 6ft 7" and find my sk3 fine, much better than the sport 600s. i think the k3 models have a higher rear subframe, so might be worth trying one and seeing if you like it better than the later models

6'4" here. Rode it to Isle of Man fully loaded from Norway.
Yearly I take a 250 km trip wich I normaly do in one go without a break, and the stiffness in the legs isn't anything a beer won't cure.

On the other hand, I'm 6ft and its the most uncomfortable bike I've ever had. I'm not saying that its un-ridable or you won't be ok over long distances but my other bikes have been better. It does seem to depend a lot on your shape and type of ride etc.

Having said that, I love it and have no plans to change it!

I'm 6ft1" and i have a K3, its just perfect i think, i have sat on later models of the SV and they do appear to be a little lower but the K3 is spot on, i have no plan on getting rid just yet.
