Default sv650 - just for the shorties?

Tire-kicked my way around a few dealers yesterday, and one kept trying to steer me towards a fazer they had for sale - trying to dissuade me from the SV because he thought I was a bit too tall for it - I like fazers (despite the fact they are a little bit "disco") but really fancy an SV for the fun value.

I'm no giant- only 6ft, and on the test rides I've had on the SV I never felt a problem - in fact I've always had a slight preference for smaller bikes as I feel I can throw them around a little easier

I've read that SVs suit the shorter rider - but is that at the expense of the taller rider?

I've only tested curvys so far - are pointys any better/worse for taller blokes?

any thoughts?
