Default Finding the perfect small bike....NOT!

OK, so here's the deal:

Recently decided that the years are catching up with me a bit and I no longer feel comfortable trying to control a "big" bike so I decided to trade-down. Got a Suzuki GZ 250. Nice bike and it fits my short arms and legs perfectly. Easy to manuver, both running and not.......
BUT
After only a couple of months, I'm thinking I may have downsized a bit too much so I went searching for something with just a bit more power. Found the Suzuki S40. Similar frame to the GZ and only 50 lbs. heavier. But then noticed the drag (straight) handle bars. Crap.

I did a quick search of the "Big 4" japs and came up with nothing. Did I miss something? (Low seat, cruiser or standard, 350 lbs. or less).

And yes, I know that there are several mods. for the GZ, including a new top end (up to 350 cc) but I have no intention of doing any of that, except maybe bumping the front sprocket one tooth.

Looks like I'm just going to have to enjoy my little thumper for a while.
