Suggest Possible Next Bikes for me

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

This is probably not going to happen for years, but in the interest of talking about motorcycles, suggest a next motorcycle for me.

Requirements

It must pull smoothly from tick over, no low rev lumpiness for me
Comfortable, it needs to have a seat I can sit on for more than an hour, no high handlebars, no low handlebars, no scrunched up legs
Good pillion provision for an adult sized person
Sensible seat height, nothing over 32 inches
Ability to cruise at 90mph
Reasonable handling, but doesn't need to be super quick steering or anything
Traction Control - I'm surprised how much I like this on my Suzuki
Good acceleration
At least 80bhp
No big fairings

What ever you suggest I reserve the right to dislike anything based on looks.

XSR900

XSR900

Not a bad suggestion, I'd need to try the seat out on one, and they can easily be made less ugly

No, pillion seat looks shite

[KungFooBob]

You want a nice R1250GS... With the factory lowered chassis.

[weeksy]

Well lets start with "what does cheesy think doesn't look shite" and see what comes out of that bit.

Nearly everything modern

What's a ZFR800?

[The Spin Doctor]

RE5.

Quicker to start with the opposite question

But the answer is of course, that Honda CB1000R with the custom paint job which you can't actually buy.

Or the old CB1300 (that is still a current JDM model) with the Spencer paint job.

bugger - take off the last item and I'd suggest a GoldWing.

F6C Valkyrie...

Though a few other compromises would need to be made. No traction control - a US mate lost the rear end on diesel in France, and it went backwards into the armco... the bike was fine - a few scratches, the barrier had a big dent in it. Sadly, his tour was curtailed at that point due to broken ribs. I think his wife broke a collarbone.

Actually - after a quick google for the Valkyrie brought up some alternative images : How about a Rocket3?

[KungFooBob]

Panigale V4S.

A Diavel would be more likely

I'd forgotten about that, maybe I should try the seat on the one you can actually buy, it's not as though there isn't a Honda dealership under 5 minutes from my house.

It looks like something an attention seeking Judge Dread would ride
