That's why I'd probably go with as mentioned Aprilia, KTM or Husky. Those bikes are tough as nails, but very versatile. If they can deal with cobblestone streets in Europe, they must be well built.

Those euro bikes are much closer to purebread race bikes. The Aprilia 450 is a rocket but has as little as a 20 hr. service life (new pistons, valves and so on)
They do not make very practical commuter bikes, but they are crazy fun play bikes.
