I've heard good things about the sbk school. Are you talking about Keith Code's school? I think it would be money well spent to up the skill level and try and stack the odds further in my favor.
I've seen a lot of guys who know what they're doing go to KTM Adventures. That and the Triumph Tiger or BMW GS would make sense, especially if you're tall. Sounds like you should have a windscreen for sure.

If you haven't already, do the MSF Advanced class. Sport Riding Techniques and the Keith Code books are excellent, too.
