The next bike I'll be having will either be either another late model ZX9R (2000-2004), or an early GSX-R1000 (same years), funds allowing.
I miss the acceleration and handling of a proper liter sports bike, yet both of these bikes are more than comfy (for me at least, the 9 I imagine pretty much for anyone) and have enough luggage options and tank range that mean I'll still be able to do long distance riding. I think the only real downer will be the pillion provision won't be as good, but then in fairness that's not exactly that much of a surprise!
The question is unfair as I have no plans to get anything else.... however the things that I've seen and catch my eye (note I know nothing about bikes) with your requirements are the Aprilia Tuono(http://www.beechdalemotorcycles.com/showroom.php#585), R1 (can't go wrong with an R1 surely) and BMW 1000SS (Better start saving :-).
My choices, were I to have any, would be the Fazer Thou, G650 GS or most likely the MT-09.
I'm sure none of my input helped, but oh well.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
