I'm still in love with sport bikes, I do find comfort varies between brands. I tend to find kawak zx-- very cramped but gsxrs very comfy.
My fz1 is the first upright bike I've had and it took some getting used to but I do enjoy it. I bought it over a fireblade (I'm still not 100% sure I chose correctly) down to the fact it was more comfortable with the high bars etc for everyday riding.
The only thing I do find is that an upright bike is not as fun to ride faster as a tucked in bike. There's just something about being laid on the top of the tank that makes you feel like your flying (inner child lol)
Being upright just improves your grip, arm and neck strength haha
There also seems to be a certain stigma with riding a crotch rocket. You can almost feel people staring at you and just thinking 'dickhead'.
People seem to assume that just because your on a sportbike that your an idiot that speeds everywhere and has to overtake everything. Where as on my naked bike I've found people are more willing to move over etc and I don't seem to get as many shitty looks (even though I still ride like a dick and overtake everything ?)
