You could probably go straight across for a Hypermotard and get years worth of smiles for free!

^^^ Agree re: the 'Tard.
I balk at saying this because I've had wonderful relationships with many of the 20 - 30+ bikes I've owned in the past 55 yrs., but my '12 'Tard (oil cooled 1100) holds a special place. ***
Especially since the Power Commander & dyno tune.
Of the 5 bikes I presently own, the one that barely comes close to your RT is the BMW R1100S - but it's surely not boring. It's my two-up bike these days.

I must say, reading your first post was entertaining...humorously written, as you captured your experience. I almost got sweaty as I read.
I hate riding sweaty.

*** Believe it or not, three of my all time favs were the dead stock Yam RZ350 and two tuned Yam TDR250s.
Like peteremsley, I like the feel of small but spunky bikes.
