to me they're just standard bikes w/ sport style fairings bec of the upright seating position.

but who cares what i think.

so seating position determines bike clasification? The Sv650s is what then, its got a non-up right seating postion but cant compete with bikes in the sterotypical 'sportbike' class. . .

The 650 isnt a ninja, the 600 and 636 are. (also referred to as the ZX-6R, and the ZX-6RR respectively)

Sure it is (read the url and the fairing) http://www.ninja650.com/EX650A6F_40099_B.jpg



ZX14 and the 10R are two bikes designed for two distinctly different purposes. 10R is a race/track bike, the 14 is a sport tourer (emphasis on sport). The price dif doesn't surprise me at all since they fill different niches.

why yes, the SVS models are sportbikes to me but not supersports, just like the katana.

ZZR has a fairly agressive riding posture. Not so agressive as a 636 by way of example, but it allows for an easy full tuck. At what point does one become the other?

to me... sportbikes are setup so that even when you are not tucked in, your back is still hunched. but that's just me so who cares.

you can full tuck on a ex500. its not a perfect tuck nor is it needed, but you can.
