I've rode all of them and they are pretty comfortable and have upright seating positions. Leg room, that's a different story although they are still way more comfortable than 'crotchrockets'. These are all standards; although the 500R is usually considered a 'sportbike' and has fairings and the 04 and up GS500 have fairings that model their GSXR cousins. I had an 00 GS and I loved it.
None of those float my boat.

I grew up with harley's and love the look of harley's and harley knock offs. That's what I am looking for. A look like Harley's without the harley price.

examples:

This is what I mean by upright sitting. Pegs infront of crank case/tranny. Not behind it like you are showing.
