Isn't Moto Guzzi the Italian Harley?

I have a square-headlamped 900SS with Helibars. It's like riding a tractor, the riding position. Very upright.

The ST2/ST3/ST4 bikes sound like what you're looking for. Made for longer rides. Wind protection. Able to handle luggage. The only big mechanical issue was flaking rockers on the ST4 motors. I think the 4-valve motors are a lot more fun than the 2-valve motors. Not just in more HP, but also with crisper throttle response. Doesn't that guy who does all the Iron Butts ride an ST4?

Multistrada looks good on paper. Fit the criteria you've listed. But a bit fugly, IMO. And it's got a seat height that's a bit tall for me, personally.
