Default Bike ergonomics

Wondering whether that new bike would be right for you? SVS bars too low, how much rise and pull back do you need? A bit short in the leg department, need a lower seat?

This may help.

Looking at the bikes I think I need a small bike. Annoying thing is I really like the R1200S but im a bit small (if you wanna see what I mean 5'6" 29" inside leg and tick the feet down).

Aprilia RSV4 would be bang on but its too much for the road imo... if only they would make a 600cc version! heh.
