Default Need a few suggestions for next years Bike

hey guys and gals , glad I found you / site.

Let me try this here

I got back into bikes this past year when gas hit $3 a gallon
figured , ouch, driving the car to go to work or run errands will be expensive, especially since I like burning gas in the boat and snowmobiles...

So I bought a Ninja 250 and used it for scooter duty and it allowed me to get reaquanted with the general SUV Driving cell phone talking make up applying girl gauking public. WOW.

I piled 2500 miles on from August to October , and a few hundred in November.

So now that the ninjette is put to bed for the winter , I'm looking for a Bigger bike. Not a high horsepower loud rocket. But something just more substantial and maybe with that sweet inline 4 cylinder sound.

@ 39 yo , 5'10" & 180lbs , I like the RR looks but have no desire to be in a torture rack, I want to be able to run from Norhtwest IN to MI on a nice day or head down south on a Sunday afternoon and pull some decent miles say
50-250 per leg. and I don't want a "cruiser " harley or harley look alike .

Any Ideas...........
