Frankly, you're describing a maxi-scooter.

- No/little wind on legs, hands, and chest
- A comfortable ride you can easily 2-up when needed
- Decent gas mileage
- Don't feel the need to punch it
- Chill

The BMW C650 and Suzuki Burgman 650 both make north of 50 horsepower, get over 50 mpg, have as much wind protection as it's possible to get short of just driving a car, and there's no way you're ever going to want to punch it. It doesn't get more chill than that.

If your instinct is to dismiss this idea out of hand.... well, deep down you've also got some emotional drivers to match the rational ones you've expressed. What creates "I'll never ride one of those" lists is all about emotion.
