Default Ride height

I know this is a forum for Honda motorcycles, but I'm sure people have other bikes as well.
My question is which bike do you think would be more comfortable for someone who is 6'4" and about 200 lbs.

I've sat on a gixxer and cbr, but I'd like some opinions before I finalize my idea on what I should purchase.

I forgot to say I want a 600cc.

Basically, either a 600rr or gixxer 600.

Which one is taller/more comfortable for someone 6'4"?

bike model selection is firstly more about capabilities than it is about comfort. once you figure out what type riding you want out of your experience, THEN you go and try different maufacturers/models for that given classification of motorcycle
