The FZS1000 is a great bike for doing the miles, you can ride it like a twist and go scooter or get it above 6000 rpm and off it goes.
You will be buying at least a 10 year old bike so condition/wear and tear is everything. suspension if fairy easy and cheaply upgraded and make sure it has or fit an ivans jet kit (loads of info on here use search)
The biggest weak point for many is the screen, getting the balance right for either no wind pressure on chest to wind noise/buffeting around head is very subjective and a personal thing as everyone is a different build/wears different kit, the main problem i think is the fairing is a fair way from the rider .
You can get a big touring screen form the USA, lots of choice but this make is supposed to be very good [size=78%]http://www.madstad.com/s.nl/sc.7/category.843/.f[/size] BikeHPS sell them in the UK at around £220.
Good luck.
