Versys 650 or TDM 900, I've got both & they'll easily fill your requirements.
Of the two the Versys is better in traffic, the TDM can be snatchy at slow speed/revs.
TDM 850? The last generation they made had a different crank and sound amazing with an upgraded exhaust can. Worth a look, may struggle with 200 miles if you're going 95 though...

BMW F800GT
Supposed to do 60mpg +
Plus its a belt drive.
Test rode one a couple of months back....ok ish.
----------------------
Now looking at the new Versys 650 tourer.
Complete with twin boxes MRA screen, hand guards, heated grips. Under £7k. Lots of specials on the 2013 models, white or black.
Well worth a look.

That's the second shout for a Versys so will start looking at them seen as a Transalp only seems to do high 40's mpg!
The TDM 850 was nearly a winner over the Tiger some years back - very similar to the Tiger size wise so may have to leave it - more so with tank size..........the Tiger has a 25 litre jobby and does 53mpg regularly with my riding style. 200 miles, fill it up and i've still got 7 odd litres left.
BMW F800GT is a good shout - will give it a look!
A friggin Tazer...... :lol . Thought these comments would have come first but at least someone had a go :lol
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
For me it comes back to, would you actually want to do 200 miles before you stop for a break? If so, hats off to you; if not, perhaps you're limiting your choice unnecessarily?
