The SV is a little smaller, the pegs are a little back, but otherwise the riding position is basically ‘upright’. The handle bars are at a comfortable distance, the only real concern I would have for you is that it CAN be a little tight for me (6′, 32″ inseam) after about 45mins of riding.
Depending on how much you are going to ride, and how far at any time the SV should be a good bike to start with, and upgrade to the Versys in a year or two when there are more used one’s out there at a better price. You may want to consider the KLR 650 also, a larger dual-sport would probably fit you well, they have good power and handle well.
