I'm 6'4", and there aren't any bikes I can't ride. Some are more comfortable than others, but that's true no matter what height you're at. The old CBR's aren't bad. I think the old Kawi R's have slightly more room, but I might be wrong. You can always buy adjustable rear-sets if it really bothers you, and tune it more to your liking.

I'm 6'0 @ 190 lbs and I find my 94' CBR600 F2 a bit small for me. My friend just bought a BMW and it fits me perfect. I think for a person of this height, the new R1's are ideal and even the jixxer bikes 750cc and up

I am 6'4" 270 and I fit good on my 929. I am also told that it looks good under me (not too small). My next choice was a TLR, that is a comfortable bike I thought (although I have not had the opportunity to ride one).

I am 6'3" and ride a 600f4i. It fits ok but at times, yes, it does seem a little small.

I'm about 6'2" and the CBR 600F4 is pretty decent, except for sometimes I get cramped if been cruising for a while, otherwise is fairly comfortable... Can relocate the footpegs though, may be a solution for you.

I'm 6'2'' 270 lbs..I ride a 1995 cbr 600 f3. The size is fine but I need a Liter bike. I'm just a little heavy for the bike.
