Fazer 600 old model

to name a couple of reasonable non-sporty possibles to check your boxes.

How big are you? Will you be taking pillions?
I'm not tiny - about 173cm and 55kg. It's just that my legs are kind of short in proportion to my body, which makes some bikes a little annoying.

The other bikes I rode somewhat extensively were a Katana 600 and a CBR600. The Katana wasn't bad (a bit on the heavy side for commuting in California, where lane-splitting is quasi-legal, much like Ticino where it seems to be tolerated) but the CBR was set up all wrong for me - I had to lean on one leg at traffic lights, and it made my back hurt in like 20 minutes.
