Don't know how much you want to spend or how new or old you want.

BMW classic K bikes (2 valves) and the later 4 valve bikes are getting older, but they're cheap, reliable, and fuel injected. They made them in 3 flavors: sport, touring, and standard (naked). And the K100 is on your bucket list!

Integrated factory panniers, top boxes, and tank bags are fairly plentiful on the used market.

Unlike most Japanese bikes, BMW still produces pretty much all the parts required to make their post-WWII bikes go and stop.

I've owned my '94 K75 (has 87k miles) since 2002. Gone through several tires, brake pads, a couple sets of alternator cush-drive monkey nuts, a couple of rear socks, several valve adjusts (easy), and a clutch cable.
Did it all myself - never been in the shop.

And shaft drive is nice!

Whatever you get, let us know!
