Great bike let down by poor build quality and really poor Honda service. Parts were exceptionally expensive with David Silvers seeming to hold a tight grip on spares and you pay a premium for them.
How about a V-strom 1000 or a TDM900?
Never fancied a Suzuki as their reputation for falling to bits at the first sign of moisture put me off
Have been looking at the ZRX1200s but all the good ones are too far from me. Had a ZRX1200R briefly but sold it after 8 weeks for a Gen 1 funnily enough as the Yam was by far a better bike.
