I have been looking at the Suzuki and Honda 650's. They need a 6th gear and they need to set lower. The Dual sports are made for guys with a 40" inseams.

The Suzuki DR650 off the showroom floor has always had the option of setting the whole bike lower for that very reason. I rode a KLR650 for a couple of years that was likewise quite tall, especially as my legs ain't that long. You just get used to it, touching down at stoplight on tippy-toes instead of flat-footed. It helps a lot that the bike doesn't weigh much, and that ground clearance certainly helps off-road, you can see over traffic on the freeway too, especially if you stand on the pegs if necessary.
Throwing a leg way high to get on and off that tall fugger every single time will also develop your UFC skills
