Default Looking for the right bike

Looking for suggestions, looking for a bike with:

Standard seating (more or less upright - FZ6 was rather comfy).
ABS brakes (required, no bull%%%%)
decent power (about 80hp)
good range/fuel mileage
half fairing (or aftermarket ones available) - to keep wind off body and hands. Full fairing is acceptable too.

Preferred:
belt or shaft drive.
low-ish seat height.
low weight (500lbs is ok, but would prefer from it getting way higher than that)
5+ gallons of fuel. (as in, REALLY good range)
