So I touch down in the Bay Area the beginning of July, and I'm on the hunt for a good commuter bike. Naked bikes with relatively comfortable seating positions are where it's at. I prefer no fairings because they're just an expensive liability to me. ABS is the only thing I'm not really willing to budge on unless the bike is awesome and I fall in love. This doesn't have to be a forever bike, just something I will enjoy while getting back up to speed (haven't done much riding the last 3 years). 10k or under would be ideal.
General ideas off the top of my head: BMW F800R/F800GS, K1200R, R1200R, Triumph Speed/Street Triple, Bandit 1250, Monster ABS.
If it's naked and has ABS I'm interested.
Other bikes that would work despite having fairings: Triumph Sprint ST, VFR 800, or even one of the new smaller spr0tbiles (Ninja 300, Honda 500)
Heated grips and a top case would be a big plus! :thumbup :ride
