I'll give another vote for a Beemer, especially if you're a year-round commuter.
Doing the year-round thing in Seattle, I've ridden a Gold Wing, a Harley Dyna, and now a BMW K75 (soon to be traded on a new GS (if I can get it past the SO)).
The availability of ABS on anything, accessories, and competent dealer network get my vote.
