I'm thinking the same thing, and that a Yamaha FZ-07 or a KTM690 might work. I want to do some 2 or 3 day trips to the western part of NC and VA. Although I'm sure my 250 would make it fine, I'm more comfortable on my Moto Guzzi Mille GT on long trips. The problem is that it's a 500 lb. motorcycle. It handles great for a 500 lb bike, but a 350-400 lb one would be much more fun in the twisties.
