well this is a first - someone who seems to want a bike with legroom!

depending on your maturity and riding skill level, you could skip all the listed bikes and just get a V-Strom 650. Don't think its not a sport bike because it can go off road. the wide bars & upright seating allow you to be comfortable and in control

happy shopping !

Don't know were you got that info, all the sportbikes are in the same range of seat height the GS500 31.1 inch the others within about a half inch of that ( usually half inch more ).

For specs click on the dirt bike on top of page and check out the bike by bike specs on home page.

BTW, seat height will tell you the distance from the seat to the ground but bike width will also affect your ability to put your feet flat on the ground and the seat height doesn't necessarily reflect the seat to peg distance so if leg room is your concern best thing to do is visit a dealer and try them on.

Obviously as we havew determined they all have about the same seat height. The gixxers being supersportbikes will have a more crouched riding position so the overall height would be lower than a more standard GS500. The Katana's are closer but from what I can see the overall GS500 height is influenced more by the position of it's mirors than anything else.
