Have you looked a naked Suzuki SV650 ABS?
Really though, it occurs to me that what older riders need is a lighter, smaller (and yes...less sporty/fast) touring bike than an ST or Gold Wing or big Harley.
Yes, in my day, I subscribed to the “more power is always better than less power” school of thought, but now - I’m not in such a big hurry. I’m virtually always on-up and I seldom do more than 15 km/hr over the limit. I love to ride, but the weight and super-duper power of a 700-900 lb, 100-150 HP, 240 km/hr bike is really not necessary. Right now I can still handle it, but in a few years, I’m sure that a lighter and smaller bike would be welcome and whatever loss of capability it would entail, simply wouldn’t be a big deal.
People may laugh, but I’d like to see something like a GL-650 Silverwing - but with modern technology.
I want a fairing with decent protection, shaft drive and hard bags but I don’t want clip-ons or a 240 km/hr speed and I don’t want something looks like a Transformer or pretends to be a dirt bike or that requires me to be a contortionist to ride. I have two vintage bikes (1970s era Yamaha XS650s) and I love them, but I want a newer bike for long distances - one that doesn’t need to be babied and one that has modern conveniences like tubeless radial tires, fuel injection, good instruments and really good lighting.
Hmmmmm....
