I can't believe no-one's suggested THE reigning do-it-all sport/tour/whatever bike thats been tops on most lists for a decade or better.
I switched from a V-STAR 1100C to a 2002 VFR800 last year and I haven't regretted it for a second.
The VFR won't get you in trouble like a liter class mega-bike, is all-day comfortable, and is pretty much the best sounding bike I've ever heard run. (Particularly through an aftermarket exhaust)
While I love my 02, good deals can be had on the 98-01 5th generation bikes, gear driven cams and all!
