Older Sprint ST is in your budget,fully faired and keeps you resonably dry in the rain 250+miles to the tank,cheap to insure,motorway munch at 80-90mph all day,plenty of top end 145-150 should you want a bit faster,cumfy and some come with the hard luggage and surprisingly capable in the twisties My one is 9 years old now and just completed a 2K+ tour trouble free with over 40,000 on the clock,no oil consumption with many doing 80,000 before a major overhaul. Not everybodys choice but worth considering
