Saying "I want a Sport Bike" is kinda like saying "I want a Harley". The next question is OK, What kind? so many different flavors and variations.
I've had several sport bikes, One thing you'll notice is when leaning forward with your *** in the air, feeling like your holding the front axle in your hands, the wind becomes your friend holding you up on a long ride. A clean stream of air is nice.
As for age, bah, my dad didn't sell his ZX12R until he turned 70, and he's about 6'5".
Nice choice on the Viffer. Sweet and silky smooth for sure.
I was going to suggest a Kawi ZRX (never sell mine). Production ceased in '05 but they are just about the best all around do everything bike out there. a bit more standard than sport.

I bought my crotch rocket new in 1997 and still have it. I have been ridding my Harley most of the time lately so the rocket sits alot. This past weekend I decided to take the rocket out. There is no comparison!! That thing handles 50 times better than any Harley and is fast as ****. You don't realize how well they are designed until you come off of riding a Harley for some time and jump on a sportbike. I still love both bikes and love that, depending on my mood, I can choose what to ride on a given day.
