Default anything out there

So, right now I am riding my first bike, and I know that in a few years I will have the urge to move up. It will probably take that long to save the money as well.

But, I don't know what would fit my preferences...

I ride an 800, and I would like a bit more power, but only a bit. I think an efficient 1200 would be more than enough. Or a super efficient 800 (smaller? the Hyosung GV650 has some pretty crazy numbers).

I want a belt drive preferably, maybe a shaft. EFI, hydraulic valve adjustment, Liquid cooling, and good gas milage + a large tank for a really good range. Lighter weight, good steering/braking. Looks are somewhat secondary (I can mod it if I want that bad)

This doesn't seem like a lot to ask, there are lots of bikes that have a good bit of this stuff but not all. Is there anything like this out there?
