Nick, I have test ridden all the bikes on your list plus a few more this year.
The best by far (for me) was the KTM 1190 Adventure.
There are so many different options for finance it is very confusing, it all boils down to what you can afford each month and how much in total you have to pay back. I try to save a couple of hundred quid a month into a new bike fund and then pay cash, I haven't had a new bike for nearly 10 years so I need to spend some of it before the wife needs a new kitchen.
Seriously considering one of these soon.

Was hoping to like this but it wasn't as good as the hype (same as the BMW GS)
