For the money I’d go with a S1000XR, FJR or the Superduke GT. What I loved about the BMW more than anything is the warranty. A 3/36 for a bike is insanely good and also covers your oil changes, something most others brands don’t even come close to. I almost pulled the trigger on that one before I came across the R1 last minute. Test rode one and it’s comfy, very peppy and rather well equipped and with plenty of options. Probably still in the future plans once the R1 is paid off next year.
