I too am still considering a Suzuki DL-1000 V-Strom.
Another forum where you will get a lot of answers is the Adventure Rider website. Be prepared to spend a lot of time on the site. Lots and lots of great information from a lot of great people.
Good Luck
PS, another bike I want to look at is a Triumph Tiger.

What i think you are looking for is in the sport touring class. I kawasaki and honda both make a 1300cc bike that is pretty good. However, The best highway bike to take on the twisties is the Victory Vision. It is the best looking big bike out there. period. It also has better reliability than just about any other bike out there. If you want proof, just youtube victiory vision dragons tail. I would gladly ride this bike from key west fl to alaska in a heartbeat.

I’m sure $10K will get you a good used BMW, but you’d need to pick your model, they have made some trash lately.
