Considered a ZX-9R?
Very similar to a 1050 really - just doesn't have a centre stand, and can't take hard panniers as standard!
Big tank, comfy position, decent fairing. Seat a little hard, but I can do 150 odd miles quite easily before a bit of numb bum sets in!
Much better engine, brakes and suspension.
Only thing it does really lose out on is pillion comfort, it's generally a bit old school now, and valve clearances are quite frequent - although after about 30k miles you can start alternating them if you're not riding hard as they stop wearing in
