Dean:
I can help with the similar build question. The bike has much more room than
a VFR or Superhawk which are the other two I seriouly considered. The reach
to the ground is just flat foot and to the bars is nice as well.
As for the suspension, I just returned from the Streets of Willow Springs
(Keith Code's Superbike School)where I had no problems whatsoever with the
front end. The brakes are great and the torque curve is awesome. The bike
more than held its on a short course like Streets of Willow with the ZX-6R
which are set up by the school to run there. Insurance in California was $20
more per year for me when I switched from an '89 CBR 600 versus a 2000 Sprint
ST.
I also looked at Ducati's and seriously at the VFR. I ruled out the BMW's
because of price. The Sprint ST is the perfect blend of uniqueness,
performance, and price. Good luck with whatever you purchase.
Saludos,
