I am definitely a sport-touring type of rider...twisties at a high rate of speed is what I like.

And I have a 8yr old daughter, so I am forced to be frugal, especially on something that is just a "me" toy.

The R1100S or R1200S would fit the bill perfectly… Either one is hard to beat. The 1100S has a bit better luggage, and 2 up capabilities. When my kids were little and money was tight, having one bike that could do it all was important. Though I didn't ride much during those years, as being involved with their activities was more fun for me, and a better investment.
