If you're buying second-hand, the pre-VTEC Honda VFR-800 is a superb bike. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the old engine was phased out in 2001 or 2002. That era of VFR is often cited as being the perfect all-rounder, and it's a pretty accurate description. The bike that's closest in feel to that era of VFR is - in my opinion - the Triumph Sprint ST. 1050cc triple. I've had one for about 3 years now and love it. I do a mix of twisty mountain roads, freeway and inner city on my commute and it handles it all with aplomb. Comes with panniers standard as well. Food for thought.
