Anyother sportbike more 'upright' than an FZ6R?

Dumb question?

I had the dealer fully raise my seat upon delivery (3/4").

I did this because of my height (6'4") to put as much room between my feet and heels to minimize knee flexion.

If I were to lower my seat back to its original/lowest position, would that effectively straighten me up (say another 5 or 10 degrees)?

Is my reckoning correct here or just splitting hairs?
if you were to lower the seat to the stock position it would straighten you up a bit. as to the exact amount, i have no idea. for what its worth i'm 6'2" and the stock setting is very comfortable for me and i don't feel cramped.

I adjusted my seat today (less than five minutes) and not only does the seat move up or down 3/4", it also moves forward or backward about 3/4".

Short of being blinded to the change sitting and riding on two yellow bikes with raised or lowered seating, there is an easily noticable difference. I do not need to lean forward at all on the grips with the seat lower/forward. My heels are a bit closer to the seat but I prefer the more upright and forward position with the seat in its standard position.
