As far as sport bike, cruiser, etc., I look at it as conventional upright seating position (cruiser), and heels-in-yer-butt forward lean position (sport). It looks like your two choices follow that train of thought, top bike looks conventional, bottom looks more sport bike position.

I'm getting up in age, my back & knees don't like the forward lean for very long. You go on with your hotrod, I'll putter along and watch the back door
I know what you mean, I ride a CBR1000rr with quite a radical seating position and rear sets setup for the track but I've been doing it for years and my rides aren't as long as they used to be. Lol
The first bike pictured is a pretty standard seating position allowing a slight forward lean. The second bike looks like a full Sportbike, but note the higher (not clip on) bars and the pegs are not far to the rear, it's quite a relaxed position but if you've got a gut, the big tank gets in the way.
