If I had to choose out of all the bikes you posted, it would be the CBR650F and the 06XL883. HD bikes will probably cost more to maintain though. FZ6R would probably be my third pick. Engine life all depends on the person maintaining it, my neighbors Rebel 250 is in the 100k+ and still running . My Ninja 250 is about 22k+ it still feels like a new bike.
Thanks for the info , it’s funny I’ve always been a big fan of sport bikes not so much cruisers. Always loved the CBr and now that I’m able to get me one the Sportsters are interfering with my mind lol. Oh btw I won’t be getting the iron 883 went to test drive it love it but after driving a XL1200 I loved the extra power so I have found a couple 06-12’s XL1200’s to Consider also.

Besides comfort, is the cbr650 able to run for hours on hours say if I was
Driving a 14 hour trip and only stopping for food and head breaks?
