Im 6'4 and I've got an NSR125. I'm doing my test in a couple of weeks, and im gagging for a bike that has some torque, unlike my NSR. I quite fancy getting one of the little race-rep 400's (NC30, ZXR400 etc.), cos i want decent handling (and i know i'll just lose my license with something really powerful). Im just worried its just going to be incredibly uncomfortable for me, cos the bikes were designed for little Japanese folk. Anyone got any experience with this?

P.S. I do find my NSR pretty heavy on my wrists, if thats an indicator.
