What kind of journey is it?
The two I'd probably suggest (would also have suggested the CBR600F4i but you've got that) would be the ZX6R (ideally a 2002 636 model - when the engine got bigger but the bike didn't get racy and small) or a Daytona 650.
Both are decently sized comfortable bikes, particularly the 6, both have decent tank ranges and mpg (particularly the ZX6R - motorway cruising and you'll be hitting mid 50s to low 60s depending on speed), both have good headlights, suspension and brakes, are reliable, and have good engines (about 110 at the crank for both I think).
I've spent quite a lot of time riding a ZX6R (636 A1p model) and it's a very nice all round bike to be honest! Only thing they do struggle with is with pillions to be honest.
My personal preference would be the Kwak - it feels a bit gruntier, its a bit bigger with better wind protection and for me comfortable, and really does go like stink for a 6. Only negative really compared to the daytona is the brakes aren';t quite as good (well they are, but being Tok 6 pots take a lot of looking after) (although can be swapped out very easily) and the finish on the wheels isn't the best!
(oh, and should you need to, you can get a givi rack for a topbox for the 6
)
