New bike suggestions for people with back problems

Hey all, first post and i'm getting back into riding but need a bit of help.

I'm looking to get a used sport bike, but am concerned with me having back problems. Is there a more comfortable sport bike that anyone can suggest?

Like i said though, i'm getting back into riding from a 20 year hiatus and then i was on a Harley mostly but seemed to gravitate toward the CBR 600F at the time.

I'm not afraid and know how much power these bikes really have so if you guys can help with a few selections it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks  

I have a number of suggestions, each with a little different personality and capabilities:

- Kawasaki ZRX
- Kawasaki Z1000
- Kawasaki ZZRs
- Honda CB599 and CB900
- Honda VFR
- Suzuki Bandit
- Suzuki SV650
- Suzuki SV1000
- Yamaha FZ6 and FZ1
- Ducati Monster
- Ducati Supermoto
- KTM Duke
- KTM SuperDuke
- Aprilia Shiver 750
- Aprilia Tuono
- MV Brutale
- BMW - (lots!) K1200R, F800ST

In addition to these, there are also a whole line of SuperMotos that in most cases will keep up with Sportbikes (and in many cases out handle them...). Also, there's a class of bikes in the "Sport/Touring" category that can be set up for all-day comfort while having varying degrees of solid sport riding performance.

Thanks for the suggestions! However, i don't know about the Italian and German bikes.....I know i can wrench on Honda's, Kaw's, and Suz's, but a buddy of mine was a mechanic for a dealer selling Aprilia, Moto G, and Ducati, saying they are very time consuming "head ache" to work on?

I'd like a sport/tourer but the economy$$$ is telling me no.  

Thanks again wario, i ended up getting a FZ1 and really like the position and....speed

Being on and off bikes for 20 years and not buying one until now sure makes me think on why did i do that!  

Even though OBE for nospeedctrl, for others that share our back problems, I found the Buell XB12SS quite comfortable & fun to ride for extended periods.  I also have a Ducati Monster that fits the bill for 3-4 hour rides with no complaints.  I test rode the FZ1 at Daytona Bike week in 2008 and was impressed with it as well; I think it is also a great value for the money considering the performance it provides.  Welcome back to the sport nospeedctrl!  Better late than never.  

I have a back problem and therefore cannot ride a cruiser or an upright  street bike, and by leaning over on my sport bike, it takes the pressure off of the spine.  If you want something in between upright and nearly laying down, try the Ninja 650R.  Twin engine with decent power, a small amount of forward lean, plus you can do weekend trips on this bike as well.  If you want a fast intermediate forward lean, and a heck of a sport tourer, I always suggest the Triumph Sprint 1050 fuel injected 3 cylinder.  It really is 80% sport bike, but it gives you a little less lean than the true sport bike.  It has one additional feature, it has removable hard bags.  

Seen a common problem with us old baastaads............

In 2003 my t3 and 4 were fractured and in 2008 my C7 was crushed, doctors (fucktards) said 'ye must ne'r ride again'

I just do lots of exercice, specially around the abs region and can ride all day without discomfort........
