The Bike must have the following, and I am getting to old to waste
my time adjusting valves, unless it is once every 30,000 miles and no
sooner, Please.
1. Shaft drive
2. Liquid cooled, or oil cooler.
3. Hydraulic lifters (no valve adjustments)
4. At least around 750cc.
5. Gas gage,
6. Center stand.
7. Passenger seat.
8. 1/4 mile in less than 14 seconds.
9. Spokless wheels!
10. Easy access to battery, and oil filter.
11. Double Front Disk brake.
12. Two Helmet hooks.
Sort of Like Bo Derek . . . The Perfect 10 + 2

Moto Guzzi Norge?
Moto Guzzi fits all of what you want since you've eliminated the Water-cooled requirement. I don't think new MG models come standard w/ a center stand, but you can order a bike w/ one from the factory.

The 750 Vulcan fits all of that, however; I don't know what it makes in the 1/4 mile. Does anyone know the speed And time on that???

The Bike in my avatar is some kind of a Suzuki, looks similar to
the Kawasaki Vulcan 750, but the Suz has high maintenance spokes..
