Interesting point from Joe about rear sets.........i had them on my FZ1 & there was no ammount of adjusting that would make them comfortable.......but this was on an upright bike.Guessing that Anutz is reasonably tall, above 5 foot 10.........then leg position may also play a part in deciding.I suppose that with lying down you can then extend the legs backwards and perhaps there is a sportsbike out there that has a long hirizontal reach to the pegs.......mentioned this a few times before but i sat on an R1 once......i think it was only a few years old.....again i was surprised as to look at i thought theres no way that will be comfy but because i was lying down my feet on the rearsets felt quite natural as if i could happily lie there like a wild cat lying on a branch.But yeh if i was looking for a sports bike i think thats what id do...measure the horizontal distance to the pegs.....they all have to have a certain distance vertically to stop grounding but nobody seems to mention the horizontal distance.

'll give the Suzuki stick with every breath I draw purely because it is about as chav bling as you get ....BUT.... what an awesome piece of kit. Superb handling, superb engine.
So i have one!!!!!So far its extremely comfy just sitting on it and moving it around, but will need a ride.Insuring it now!
But at least if anyone else is wondering so far, the FZS600 was my first bike after passing my tests ( i did it at 20 and never got a bike till this last Jan, i.e. 10 years since passing ) and the GSXR750 so far is by no means too much to handle, i had the concern any sports bike would be a handful, but for now its done as i asked and behaved nicely in town etc...More to follow when i get on some proper roads, i suspect that will be an eye opener!
Good to hear updates....what about the comfort Anutz???
ive owned both, the gsxr will feel like its pulling your arms off when on full chat and just seems to rev forever, doing 140mph is piss easy and becomes a everyday occurance, brakes are stunning, I had to sell mine before it killed me and then bought a fzs600 to help me slow down, gsxr750 is lovely and smooth and extremely fast and a much better bike than I am riderhttps://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1049605711718970&l=9be0a13e0fhopefully the links worked
