OP,
You just described the bike I bought two weeks ago. Suzuki V Strom 1000
V Twin, power to do 80 all day long with or without a passenger
50 mpg
Plenty of cornering clearance
Moderate seat height, I am 5 '10 and can easily get on and off and flat foot one foot at intersections.
With the proper tires can handle a lot of different terrain

It's small brother, the 650 will do everything as well except will be slower carrying a passenger running highway speeds.

The Honda African twin would also be a great choice.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
