Truly a standard bike??

    I’d like some advice. I am interested in a standard, used bike in the 500-650cc range. I’ve seen some models listed as standard on some sites, and sport on others. Bikes I’m considering:
    Suzuki sv650, Suzuki DL650 V-strom, Suzuki GS500F, Suzuki GSX 600 F Katana, Suzuki GSR600, Honda Nighthawk 750. What I most want to know is how upright the riding position is, comparatively. I’m a new rider, 5’9”, 155 lbs. I’d welcome any suggestions/comments on the models above, or suggestions about other bikes. But again, I’m most interested in finding out the relative seating positions of these bikes. So if you can tell me anything about thee or oher bikes and how upright the position is, I’d really appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    I’d do a search for each bike at youtube. There’s videos of people riding pretty much anything. Then it’s just a matter of watching and pausing to see how upright the seating is.

    Also, have you looked at the Buell Blast at all? Good beginner friendly standard that can be found at a good price.
