My current bike the VFR800 is actually a really good riding position for me. I. F. t's very similar to a K1300S which is one of the bikes I'm considering. My biggest concern with the K bike is the amount of maintenance and the cost associated with that maintenance.
I had a cruiser but I've never really been a Harley guy. I rode the 1200GSW out in Colorado two years ago and I absolutely love the bike.
I am also thinking toward the 2015 FJR1300ES. It's a pretty bullet proof engine and the ride is superb. My only complaint is it's a little soulless.
That was one of my complaints about the Honda ST1300...it rode wonderfully, handled like a dream even at low speeds, but it pulled at my heart about as much as my wife's Camry.
Although it would give my wife sticker shock, I honestly think that the new 1200RS would probably be the good bike.

I have run a K1200 for the last 6 years they are an interesting bike alright and the 1300 is a lot more the finished article but they take some looking after test ride one and see how you get on I'm also looking for one last bike I run 4 at this point in time if the rear pillion was bigger probably be an BM XR but Ducati have complicated things by revamping the Multi and it has a lot more room and that's me being 175lbs and wife a lot less heaven knows how larger couples will get on
if you only ride one up then the XR is areal option.
