Re: my new bike :D
Lol. I don't celebrate birthdays anymore. After 18, I stopped counting 
In any case, I hated being in my early 20's: life was always a struggle; independence was always a hard battle, constrained by finances and high motorcycle insurance!
At 5ft 9", you're still going to find the RSV4 slightly small. That is, if you ever ride in GSXR600s'; Ducati ST2s; Honda VFRs, or Pan Europeans and other larger 1000cc bikes. Coming up from a 50cc, everything is going to feel bigger
Actually, the 675cc Speed Triple or Daytona from Triumph are quite decent sized. There are a lot of reasonably comfy bikes . The old style Aprilia Mille ('03) was a huge bike. I could just about touch the ground with both feet when the suspension was racked up.
Bottom line - try it out before settling for a bike. You can do a lot to tailor the suspension to get it optimal. Then decide

Noo ~ you should have stopped at 21
Thats means I have several months before I have to stop counting.
I bet it was all that uni, all the junk food and drinking wayyy to much
I doubt I'd be able to keep a stable speed on that RSV4 never mind find it small. I could see myself pulling off, leaving a huge line of rubber or flipping it.
I love the sound of the VFR800s theres one near me, really loud, bit to popular though. I love the rarity of the 400s. If I do sell mine, I'll be looking for another one before you know it.
I've never found any of my bikes uncomfortable really, I remember when I jumped on the CBR I got an ache in my left leg after a few miles, it went after around 100 miles, I was the same on the VFR, that went to. I doubt I'll say this in errr 20 or so years time
Trying out a bike before buying is quite difficult at our age, they won't trust us. We have to have held a licence at least 2 years before they let us test ride anything now.
